To win the school art competition, the finalists must receive over 50% of the votes cast by their
peers. If 330 students vote and r represents the
minimum number of votes a finalist needs to
win the competition, which of the following
expressions is true?

1. minimum

2. 6400

3. eight

hope this !

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2  

x

=240
