Solution

The correct option is C $(6x + 133)
Given:
Investment by family = $(113x + 52)
Investment by friends = $(73x + 81)

Let’s add the two linear expressions using properties of expression to calculate total investment.

Using commutative property:
113x + 73x + 52 + 81


Using associative property:
= (113x + 73x) + 52 + 81

= (183x) + 133

= 6x + 133

Therefore, the total funds invested is
$(6x + 133).
