Math Problem Statement

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

Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the sum of the functions f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x).

Given:

  • f(x)=4x4f(x) = 4x - 4
  • g(x)=3x5g(x) = 3x - 5

We are asked to find (f+g)(x)(f + g)(x).

Step 1: Add the functions

The sum of the two functions is calculated by adding their corresponding expressions:

(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)

Substitute the given functions:

(f+g)(x)=(4x4)+(3x5)(f + g)(x) = (4x - 4) + (3x - 5)

Step 2: Combine like terms

Now, combine the like terms:

(f+g)(x)=(4x+3x)+(45)(f + g)(x) = (4x + 3x) + (-4 - 5)

Simplify further:

(f+g)(x)=7x9(f + g)(x) = 7x - 9

Final Answer:

(f+g)(x)=7x9(f + g)(x) = 7x - 9
