The cost (in dollars) in making b bracelets is represented by 4+5b. The cost (in dollars) of making b necklaces is represented b
ddd [48]
Answer:

P(b)=3b+2

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost (in dollars) in making b bracelets is represented is

B(b)=4+5b

To find how much more it will cost to make b necklaces than b bracelets, we find the difference,

P(b)=N(b)-B(b)

P(b)=8b+6-(4+5b)

P(b)=8b+6-4-5b

P(b)=3b+2

This is a polynomial in descending powers of b, hence it is in standard form;
