Options 2 and 4.

- 2: "The sum of 1.5 and the product of 6.5 and a number is no greater than 21." → 6.5x + 1.5 ≤ 21.
- 4: "The product of 6.5 and a number, when increased by 1.5, is at most 21." → 6.5x + 1.5 ≤ 21.

The others are wrong: (1) means 6.5(x + 1.5); (3) says "below" (strict <); (5) means ≥21.
