Answer:

(f+g)(x) = 13x + 3

Explanation:

Rewrite f(x)=2x+7 and g(x)=11x-4 in columns, as follows:

f(x)=2x+7

+g(x)=11x-4

----------------

Now add each column separately.

f(x)+g(x) = (f+g)(x) ("the sum of functions f and g")

2x + 11x = 13x, and, finally, 7-4 = 3.


Therefore,

f(x)=2x+7

+g(x)=11x-4

----------------

(f+g)(x) = 13x + 3
