Answer:

Explanation:

Substituting x as -1 in f(x), f(-1)

F(-1)=5(-1)-20

F(-1)=-5-20

F(-1)=-25

Substituting x as2 into g(x), g(2)

G(x) =2^2+5(2)-11

G(x)=4+10-11

G(x)=3

F(-1)+g(2)=-25+3

=-22

Explanation:

f(x) = 5x - 20

f(-1) = 5(-1) - 20 = - 5 - 20

= - 25

g(x) = x² + 5x - 11

g(2) = 2² + 5(2) - 11 = 4 + 10 - 11

= 3

Thus, f(-1) + g(2) = - 25 + 3 = - 22
