Answer:

f(x) + g(x) = 3x - 4

Explanation:

The problem is,

→ f(x) + g(x)

Let's solve the problem,

→ f(x) + g(x)

→ (2x + 1) + (x - 5)

→ 2x + 1 + x - 5

→ (2x + x) + (1 - 5)

→ 3x +(-4)

→ 3x - 4

Hence, answer is 3x - 4.

Answer:


\huge\boxed{\sf 3x -4}

Explanation:

Given functions:

  • f(x) = 2x + 1
  • g(x) = x - 5

Add both equations.

f(x) + g(x):

= 2x + 1 + x - 5

Combine like terms

= 2x + x + 1 - 5

= 3x - 4


\rule[225]{225}{2}
