Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

5^(x - 2) = 5^(x - 3) × 5¹

= 5[5^(x - 3)]

5^(x - 4) = 5^(x - 3) ÷ 5¹

= [5^(x - 3)]/5

7^(x - 5) = 7^(x - 3) ÷ 7²

= [7^(x - 3)]/49

5[5^(x - 3)] - 7^(x - 3) = [7^(x - 3)]/49 + 11[5^(x - 3)]/5

5[5^(x - 3)] - 11[5^(x - 3)]/5 = [7^(x - 3)]/49 + 7^(x - 3)

5^(x - 3)[5 - 11/5] = 7^(x - 3) [1/49 + 1]

5^(x - 3)[14/5] = 7^(x - 3) [50/49]

7^(x - 3) ÷ 5^(x - 3) = 14/5 × 49/50

(7/5)^(x - 3) = 7³/5³ = (7/5)³

x - 3 = 3

x = 6

There are 250 votes tallied in a school election with 3 candidate:A, Candidate B, and Candidate C. If 150 of the votes are for c
Tanya [424]

The answer is 75 and here's why.

Let's figure out the amount of remaining votes to prove this.

250 total votes   -    150 votes for candidate a = 100 votes.

                minus ↑ sign

Candidate B received 25% of the votes, so let's find<u> 25% of 100</u>

<u>100 * 0.25 = 25 votes</u>

Candidate B only got 25 votes (that's kinda sad, poor guy)

<u>100 - 25 votes = the # of votes candidate C got </u>

Candidate C got 75 votes!
