Answer: 22 months

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Mildred has $800 in her savings account and adds $25 each month. The function f(x)=25x+800 represents Mildred's bank account.

To calculate the number of months for Mildred to have $1, 350 goes thus:

f(x) = 25x + 800

25x + 800 = 1350

25x = 1350 - 800

25x = 550

x = 550/25

x = 22

The answer is 22 months.
