Answer 1

To find \((f + g)(x)\), we need to add the functions \(f(x)\) and \(g(x)\):

Given:

• \(f(x) = 6x - 2\)
• \(g(x) = 2x + 4\)

Now, we add these two functions together:

\[ (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) = (6x - 2) + (2x + 4) \]

Combining like terms:

1. Combine the \(x\) terms: \(6x + 2x = 8x\)
2. Combine the constant terms: \(-2 + 4 = 2\)

Putting it all together, we get:

\[ (f + g)(x) = 8x + 2 \]

Thus, the final answer is:

\[ \boxed{8x + 2} \]
