Here, we see we are working with function composition, and we are adding our functions.
f(x) = 2x2 + 3 and g(x) = x2 - 7
Adding them implies: 2x2 + 3 + x2 - 7 From here it is a bit clearer that we are combining like terms, so we recognize we have:
2x2 + x2 + 3 - 7.
Combining and simplifying them leaves us with: 3x2 - 4
