Step-by-step explanation:
note (
)(x ) = 

=
and
(
)(4) =
=
=
= 3
-------------------------------------------------------
(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)
f(x) + g(x)
= x² + 2x - 3 + x² - 9 = 2x² + 2x - 12 and
(f + g)(4) = 2(4)² + 2(4) - 12 = 2(16) + 8 - 12 = 32 + 8 - 12 = 28

Answer:
14, 22
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y = 36
2×x - y = 6
=> x = 36 - y
=> 2×(36 - y) - y = 6
72 - 2y - y = 6
-3y = -66
3y = 66
y = 22
=> x = 36 - 22 = 14
Lying in the same straight line i think..
