To simplify the expression \((2b + 3r) + (4b + r)\), you can combine like terms:
1. Start by grouping the terms:
- The terms with \(b\): \(2b + 4b\)
- The terms with \(r\): \(3r + r\)
2. Now combine them:
- For \(b\): \(2b + 4b = 6b\)
- For \(r\): \(3r + r = 4r\)
3. Therefore, the simplified expression is:
\[
6b + 4r
\]
So the total cost in simplified form is \(6b + 4r\).
