Question

I’m confused with number 1? Can you please explain?

Answer 1

1. 15x + 3

Explanation:

Given:

f(x) = 3x - 2

g(x) = 12x + 5

You are trying to solve:

f(x) + g(x)

Plug in the coresponding terms to the corresponding variables:

(3x - 2) + (12x + 5)

Combine like terms:

(3x + 12x) + (-2 + 5)

(15x) + (5 - 2)

15x + 3

15x + 3 is your answer.
