X=312/30

X=1.4

13x=13*1.4=18 votes

Answer 2

Answer:

676

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of votes received by the candidates be :-

              13x and 19x

==: 19x - 13x = 312

==: 6x = 312

==: x = 52

Votes are secured by the second candidate = 13x

                                                                          = 13 * 52

                                                                          = 676
