The correct answer for this question is " She can predict 18 texts."

f (x) = (3x + 2) / 4

y = (3x + 2) / 4

Do the inverse:

x = (3y + 2) / 4

4x = 3y + 2

4x - 2 = 3y

y = (4x - 2) / 3

given that y = $24

y = (4x - 2) / 3

24 = (4x - 2) / 3

72 = 4x - 2

74 = 4x

x = 18.5

She can predict 18 texts.
