Question

If f(x)=2x-6and g(x)=3x+9 find (f+g)(x)

Answer 1

(f+g)(x)= 5x+3

Explanation:

The question asks us to find (f+g)(x). In other words, the sum of f(x) and g(x).

f(x) + g(x)

We know that f(x)= 2x-6 and g(x)=3x+9. Therefore, we can substitute the expressions in.

(2x-6) + (3x+9)

Now, simplify by combining like terms. Add the terms with variables, then the terms without variables.

(2x+3x) + (-6+9)

Add 2x and 3x.

5x + (-6 + 9)

Add -6 and 9.

5x + 3

If f(x)=2x-6and g(x)=3x+9, then (f+g)(x) is 5x+3

Answer 2

(f+g)(x) = 5x + 3

Explanation:

(f+g)(x) is the sum (term by term) of f(x) and g(x):

(f+g)(x) = 2x - 6 + 3x + 9

Combining like terms, we get

(f+g)(x) = 5x + 3
