Question 400582: Could someone please help me set up and solve this word problem? I am very confused.
Suzie's flower shop estimates that supplies costs foe one month will begiven by the polynomial 2x^2-3x-2. She estimates that utilities cost for one month is given by 4x-6. Find and simplify an expression that would estimate the total costs for one month.

Suzie's flower shop estimates that supplies costs foe one month will begiven by the polynomial 2x^2-3x-2. She estimates that utilities cost for one month is given by 4x-6. Find and simplify an expression that would estimate the total costs for one month.
.
Total costs = "supply costs" + "utility costs"
Total costs = 2x^2-3x-2 + 4x-6
Total costs = 2x^2+x-2-6
Total costs = 2x^2+x-8
.
typically, we would then write the function as:
C(x) = 2x^2+x-8
where
C(x) represents cost based on x
