So this problem
can be solve using the formula:
F = P(1+i)^t
Where F is the
balance account after t years
P is money
deposited
i is the
fraction interest rate
F = 3500 (1+0.35)^t
<span>F = 3500 (1.35)^t
is the function equation represents the balance of the account after t years</span>
X = B.......x - 17 = A
x + x - 17 = 87
2x - 17 = 87
2x = 87 + 17
2x = 104
x = 104/2
x = 52........so state B has 52 electoral votes
x - 17 = A
52 - 17 = A
35 = A.....so state A has 35 electoral votes
