The total cost, y, for x pounds of pumpkins is y = 3x+4.

What is an equation?

A quadratic equation is an algebraic equation of the second degree in x. The quadratic equation in its standard form is ax² + bx + c = 0

Given:

Customers pay $4 to enter the pumpkin patch.

customers pay $3 per pound for the pumpkins.

let $y be the total cost and there is x weight of pumpkins.

Now, the cost of a pumpkin for x pounds,

= 3x

and the total cost y = 3x+4.

Hence, the equation is y = 3x+4.
