Hello!
***
(f + g)(1) essentially means f(1) + g(1) -- plug 1 into both f and g, then add the results together.
***
First, let us find f(1):

***
Now, find g(1):
g(x) = x - 4
g(1) = 1 - 4 = -3
***
Finally, add the results together:
f(1) + g(1) = 2 + (-3) = 2 - 3 = -1
***
Thus, (f + g)(1) = -1
Let me know if you have any questions! =)
