If f (x) = - 5x - 4 and g (x) = - 3x - 2, find (f + g) (x).

Answer: See below

Step-by-step explanation:

(f+g) (x) is another way for saying f (x) + g (x). Since we know f (x) and g (x), we can add them together.

-5x-4 + (-3x-2) [distribute the 1 to (-3x-2) ]

-5x-4-3x-2 [combine like terms]

-8x-6

(f+g) (x) is - 8x-6. You can also factor this.
