Correct Answer: (1)

Solution: (1) I. $(625)^{\frac{1}{4}} x+\sqrt{1225}=155$

$\Rightarrow\left(5^{4}\right)^{\frac{1}{4}} x+35=155$

$\Rightarrow 5 x=155-35$

$\Rightarrow 5 x=120$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{120}{5}=24$

II. $\sqrt{196} y+13=279$

$\Rightarrow 14 y=279-13=266$

$\Rightarrow y=\frac{266}{14}=19$
