The profits for a business can be represented as a function p (x) = 110+25x for the month of January and q (x) = 15x+85 for the month of February.

Which function represents the total profit for January and February?

To find the total profit, add p (x) and q (x):

(110 + 25x) + (15x + 85)

15x + 25x + 110 + 85 - - > group like terms

40x + 195 - - > add like terms

p (x) + q (x) = 40x + 195 - - > This is the function that represents the total profit for January and February
