Consolidating Production Cost Models

An operations manager is tasked with consolidating the cost models of two different manufacturing lines. The first line's cost over time is modeled by the polynomial (7x24x+5)(7x^2 - 4x + 5) and the second line's cost is modeled by (x27x+3)(x^2 - 7x + 3). Explain the step-by-step process of combining these two polynomials to find the total consolidated cost model, and state the final simplified expression.
