I think it is function f: an input of 1, gives output of -3, and an input of -4 gives output of -1. Same with g: input of 1 gives output of -3, and input of -3 gives -4 out.
So it looks like (f + g)(1) is the same as f(1) + g(1). http://www.mathsisfun.com/sets/functions-operations.html
Well it just so happens that f(1) = -3, and g(1) = -3 so we have -3 + -3 = -6
