can someone please help with this ?

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If we are to find f(x) + g(x) that we means that we are to add the functions together by combining like terms, if any, and put it all together into one function. Adding them looks like this:
[tex]-3x+7+2x^2-8[/tex] and combining like terms gives us
[tex]2x^2-3x-1[/tex]
