The total cost of the fish for Friday is 75 * f dollars. The total cost of the vegetables for Friday is 75 * v dollars. So the total cost of the dinners for Friday is 75f + 75v dollars.

Similarly, The total cost of the fish for Saturday is 150 * f dollars. The total cost of the vegetables for Saturday is 150 * v dollars. So the total cost of the dinners for Saturday is 150f + 150v dollars.

The total cost of the dinners for Friday and Saturday is (75f + 75v) + (150f + 150v) = 225f + 225v dollars.

This equation can be written in the form of C = mx + b, where C is the cost of the dinners, m is the cost per serving (m = f+v) and x is the number of dinners, b is 0 because there is no fixed cost.

It's also important to mention that this equation is only describing the cost of the dinners. If there are any other costs or expenses like delivery or tip, it should be added to the equation.
