The correct answer is: 5
$\begin{gathered}A_{x-2}\left[B(C)_x\right]_2 \longrightarrow(x-2) A^{+2}+\left[B(C)_x\right]^{-(x-2)} \\ A_{x-2}\left[B(C)_x\right] \cdot A^{+2} \text { and }\left[B(C)_2\right]^{-(x-2)} \\ i=1-\alpha+x \alpha-2 \alpha+2 \alpha \\ (x-1) \alpha=3 \text { or } x-1=\frac{3}{\alpha} \\ \alpha=0.75, i=4, x=5\end{gathered}$
