To solve the problem we must know about Like Terms.
Like terms are those terms that are having the same variables, also the variables are of the same order as well.
for example, 25x and 5x are like terms; 30xy and 7xy are like terms, 9x³ and 4x² are not like terms, etc.
The solution to the problem is (-1.7x-1.3).
Given to us
To find
f(x) + g(x)
To solve the problem we will put the functions as given to us,
[tex]f(x)+g(x)\\= ( 3.7 - 2x)+( 0.25x - 5)[/tex]
Open brackets,
[tex]=3.7 - 2x+ 0.25x - 5[/tex]
Solve the like terms,
[tex]=3.7 - 2x+ 0.25x - 5\\\\=0.25x-2x-5+3.7\\\\=-1.75x-1.3[/tex]
Hence, the solution to the problem is (-1.7x-1.3).
