Answer

-2

Work Step by Step

Consider the information provided and study the graph carefully, Here, both the equations have the functions with x coordinate as the variable. It show that the given number in the form of function have the value of the x coordinate. Locate the value of $y$for the respective plot on the graph: $\begin{align} & f\left( -1 \right)=1 \\ & g\left( -1 \right)=-3 \end{align}$ To find the provided number, substitute the value of$f\left( -1 \right)$as 1 and $g\left( -1 \right)$as$-3$in the$f\left( -1 \right)+g\left( -1 \right)$: $\begin{align} & f\left( -1 \right)+g\left( -1 \right)=1+\left( -3 \right) \\ & =-2 \end{align}$ Thus, the value of the number is$-2$.
