Problema Solution

Essay question: show all work. Suzie’s flower shop estimates that supplies costs for one month will be given by the polynomial 5x2 – 3x + 1. She estimates that utilities costs for one month is given by 5x – 9. Find and simplify an expression that would estimate Suzie’s total costs for one month.

Answer provided by our tutors

Total cost = supplies cost + utilities cost

supplies cost = 5x2 - 3x+1

utilities cost = 5x-9

total cost = 5x2 - 3x +1 +5x-9

Total cost = 5x2 +2x -8 --> this is the equation for Suzie's total cost for one month
