Answer

$(a)f(x)+g(x)=\frac{22}{5}x-\frac{32}{5}$ $(b)f(x_-g(x)=-\frac{18}{5}x+\frac{38}{5}$ $(c)f(x)g(x)=\frac{1}{5}(8x^2-2x-21)$

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{3}{5}$ $g(x)=4x-7$ $(a)f(x)+g(x)$ $=\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{3}{5}+4x-7$ $=\frac{2}{5}x+4x+\frac{3}{5}-7$ $=\frac{22}{5}x-\frac{32}{5}$ $(b)f(x)-g(x)$ $=\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{3}{5}-(4x-7)$ $=\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{3}{5}-4x+7$ $=\frac{2}{5}x-4x+\frac{3}{5}+7$ $=-\frac{18}{5}x+\frac{38}{5}$ $(c)f(x)g(x)$ $=(\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{3}{5})(4x-7)$ $=\frac{1}{5}(2x+3)(4x-7)$ $=\frac{1}{5}(8x^2-14x+12x-21)$ $=\frac{1}{5}(8x^2-2x-21)$
