=============================================================================
Work Shown:
Method 1
Given functions are
Add them and simplify
Then plug in x = -7
------------------------------
Method 2
Plug x = -7 into each function separately
and
Then add the two results
GeoGebra and Desmos are two great tools to quickly verify the answer.
Here's the link to the Desmos calculator results. Focus on the calculations in the left panel.

I encourage you to explore other calculator options.
Try not to let them do 100% of the work for you, but rather use them as a verification tool at the end.
