To find [tex]\( h(x) \)[/tex], we need to add the functions [tex]\( f(x) \)[/tex] and [tex]\( g(x) \)[/tex].

1. Let's start by expanding both [tex]\( f(x) \)[/tex] and [tex]\( g(x) \)[/tex] in terms of [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ f(x) = 2x - 1 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ g(x) = 7x - 12 \][/tex]

2. Now, let's add [tex]\( f(x) \)[/tex] and [tex]\( g(x) \)[/tex] together to get [tex]\( h(x) \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ h(x) = f(x) + g(x) \][/tex]
Substituting [tex]\( f(x) \)[/tex] and [tex]\( g(x) \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ h(x) = (2x - 1) + (7x - 12) \][/tex]
Combine the like terms:
[tex]\[ h(x) = 2x + 7x - 1 - 12 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ h(x) = 9x - 13 \][/tex]

So, the correct expression for [tex]\( h(x) \)[/tex] is:

[tex]\[ h(x) = 9x - 13 \][/tex]

Therefore, the correct answer is [tex]\( h(x) = 9x - 13 \)[/tex].
