We are given

The student council earned $1.25 for every cup of hot chocolate it sold

and $0.75 for every cup of apple cider it sold

total number of cup is 375

we have equation as

x+y=375

1.25x+0.75y=393.75

The above equation is of total cost equation

We can see that first term is 1.25x

and we have

The student council earned $1.25 for every cup of hot chocolate

so, to find total cost of hot chocolate , we multiplied 1.25 with x

that's why

x must be the number of cups of hot chocolate sold

Hence,

option-C........Answer

What is 413,125 rounded to the nearest ten thousand?
soldi70 [24.7K]
The digit '1', the first copy of '1', is in the ten thousands place. To the right of this digit is 3. Since 3 is not 5 or larger, we simply change everything after the '1' to zeros

So we go from 413,125 to 410,000

The final answer is 410,000

What is a solution for both equations y=x+3 and -2x+y=1
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

(2, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = x + 3 → (1)

- 2x + y = 1 → (2)

Substitute y = x + 3 into (2)

- 2x + x + 3 = 1

- x + 3 = 1 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

- x = - 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into (1) for corresponding value of y

y = 2 + 3 = 5

Solution is (2, 5)

3x^2+42x+105=0 Find the solution<br><br>  <br>  <br> 0<br> 0
Nina [5.8K]

Step-by-step explanation:

I think we have to find the factors so

3x2 + 42x + 105

First we will multiply 105 by 3 = 315 then find factors of 315 which may add or subtract = 42

So 45 and 7

3x2 + 45x - 7x + 105

3x( x + 15) - 7(x - 15)

(3x - 7) and ( x - 15) are the factors

There is a problem please recheck the question
