Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

h(t) = t² + 2t

g(t) = -t - 5

Step 2: Find (h + g)(x)

Substitute:                    (h + g)(x) = t² + 2t - t - 5Combine like terms:    (h + g)(x) = t² + t - 5

Step 3: Find (h + g)(8)

Substitute in x:                    (h + g)(8) = 8² + 8 - 5Exponents:                          (h + g)(8) = 64 + 8 - 5Add:                                     (h + g)(8) = 72 - 5Subtract:                              (h + g)(8) = 67
