[tex]A. \ h(x)=6x+13[/tex]
The total number of students selected from both universities can be found as:
[tex]f(x)+g(x)[/tex]
Where:
So:
[tex]h(x)=f(x)+g(x) \\ \\ h(x)=(4x+5)+(2x+8)[/tex] grouping terms:
[tex]h(x)=(4x+2x)+(8+5) \\ \\ Solving: \\ \\ h(x)=6x+13[/tex]
The graph of the function is shown below and you can realize that the solution is a linear equation.
