Answer:

-23

Explanation:

f(2)= 2*2-6 = -2

g(-3)= -3-2*9 = -21

---> f(2)+G(-3)= -2-21 = -23

Answer: -23

Explanation:

f(2) + g(-3) means that we will substitute 2 as x into the function f, and add that to -3 substituted as x into function g.

First, we will find the substituted and simplified values of these functions.

f(x) = 2x - 6

f(2) = 2(2) - 6

f(2) = -2


-----

g(x) = x - 2x²

g(-3) = (-3) - 2(-3)²

g(-3) = -21

Lastly, we can add them.

f(2) + g(-3)

-2 + -21

-23
