In (4, 1) 4 represents x, and 1 represents y
y = 3x + 1
1 = 3(4)+1
1 = 12 + 1
1 ≠ 13 ← sides are not equal so (4, 1) is not a solution to y=3x+1

Step-by-step explanation:
I think it's A. Sorry if I get it wrong.
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
You can try the answers to see which works. (The first one does.)
Or, you can solve for the variable:
Divide by 75
... (1/5)^(x/5) = 3/75 = 1/25
Recognize that 25 = 5^2, so ...
... (1/5)^(x/5) = (1/5)^2
Equating exponents, you have
... x/5 = 2
... x = 10 . . . . . multiply by 5
_____
You can also start by taking logarithms:
... log(75) +(x/5)log(1/5) = log(3)
... (x/5)log(1/5) = log(3) -log(75) = log(3/75) = log(1/25) . . . . simplify the log
... x/5 = log(1/25)/log(1/5) = 2 . . . . . simplify (or evaluate) the log expression
... x = 10 . . . . . multiply by 5
_____
"Equating exponents" is essentially the same as taking logarithms.
