Answer:
Answer is -10
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x + 4 < 24
put -4 on both side,
or, -2x +4 -4 < 24 - 4
or, -2x < 20
(Now divide both by -2)
or, -2x/-2 < 20/-2
or, x < -10
Therefore, x= -9,-8,-7,-6,-5......
x>10
-2x<24-4
-2x<20

$3,840
The interest formula can be rearranged to find the principal amount.
I = Prt
P = I/(rt) = $768/(.04·5)
P = $3,840
