Trees cost $3.00 more than twice the price of bushes, write a polynomial for the total cost

Question

Bushes are x, and i need to find a polynomial equation for the awnser.

Answer 1

After finding the formula for the cost of trees, PLEASE re-read the question to review what is being asked.

 

The "total cost" = (number of trees)*(cost per tree)  +  (number of bushes)* (cost per bush)

 

Let C = total cost

      T = number of trees

      B = number of bushes

      x = cost per bush

 

then,       C = T*(2x +3)  +  B*x     (all in terms of x)

 

 

Answer 2

The equation would be y=2x+3.

First you would start by multiplying the cost of bushes (x) by 2, then add 3 to find the cost of the trees, which in this equation is "y".

Answer 3

Let y = cost of trees

 

 

y = 2x + 3
