we are given the following functions:


\begin{gathered} f(x)=6x+3 \\ g(x)=x-7 \end{gathered}

We are asked to determine:


(f+g)(3)

To do that, let's remember the following relationship:


(f+g)(3)=f(3)+g(3)

Therefore, we need to substitute x = 3 in each function. Substituting in f(x):


\begin{gathered} f(3)=6(3)+3 \\ f(3)=18+3 \\ f(3)=21 \end{gathered}

Substituting in g(x):


\begin{gathered} g(3)=3-7 \\ g(3)=-4 \end{gathered}

Adding both functions:


f(3)+g(3)=21-4=17

Therefore, the answer is 17.
