Answer:
x <5
Step-by-step explanation:
2(4 x + 3) < 5 x + 21
Distribute
8x +6 < 5x +21
Subtract 5x from each side
8x -5x +6 < 5x-5x+21
3x +6 < 21
Subtract 6 from each side
3x+6-6 <21-6
3x <15
Divide each side by 3
3x/3 <15/3
x <5

Answer: Choice C) $1125</h3>
==============================================================
Explanation:
We'll add up the values in the bottom row of the table.
A value like +150 is the same as simply saying 150
The negatives stick around.
Adding up the values in that row gets us
150 + (-50) + 400 + 300 + (-175) + (-250) = 375
This indicates that over the entire 6 month period, the overall change is +375
---------
In other words, the initial investment (call it x) has increased by 375 dollars over the 6 month period.
We can then say:
x + 375 = 1500
x = 1500-375
x = 1125
She initially invested $1125
Your real answer would be 49.75510204
