Answer:
25%- 1875 Votes
<em>7500 x 0.55 = 4125 (</em><em>first candite valid votes</em><em>)</em>
<em>7500 x 0.20 = 1500 (</em><em>invalid</em><em>)</em>
<em>first candite valid votes</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>55</em><em>) + invalid votes (</em><em>20</em><em>) = 75% of total votes </em>
<em>first candite valid votes</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>4125</em><em>) + invalid votes (</em><em>1500 </em><em>) = 5625 of total votes </em>
<em />
<em>100 (</em><em>total</em><em> </em><em>percent of votes</em><em>) - 75 (</em><em>total percent of votes</em><em>) = 25% Votes Left</em>
<em>7500 (</em><em>total</em><em> </em><em>number of votes</em><em>) - 5625 (</em><em>total number of votes</em><em>) = 1875 Votes Left</em>
<em>7500 x 0.25 = 1875 (</em><em>valid votes for the other candite</em><em>)</em>

Answer:
the croccect amswer is A
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use the "elimination by addition/subtraction" method to solve this system for x and y.
<span> -8x=72-16y
4x=-92+16y <= Mult. all 3 terms by 2: 8x = - 184 + 32y
Now combine the following, column by column:
</span><span> -8x= 72-16y
</span>8x = - 184 + 32y
-----------------------
0 = -112 + 16y. Solving for y, 16y = 112, and y = 7.
Now subst. 7 for y in either of the original equations and calculate x:
<span>4x=-92+16(7) => 4x = -92 + 112 = 20. Then x = 5.
Solution is 5, -7 (or, better written) (5, - 7).</span>
