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

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.
