Solve the problem.The number of male lawyers, in thousands, in a certain country in a particular year can be approximated by the function  where x represents the number of years after 1985. The number of female lawyers , in thousands, in a certain country in a particular year can be approximated by the function  where again x represents the number of years after 1985. (i) Find (f + g)(x). Explain, in your own words, what this function represents.(ii) Find (f + g)(40). Explain, in your own words, what this number represents.

A. (i) (f + g)(x) = 173.4x + 224.3; this is the total number of lawyers, in thousands, in a certain country x years after 1985.
(ii) 7160.3; there will be 7,160,300 lawyers in a certain country in the year 2025.
B. (i) (f + g)(x) = 21.7x + 376; this is the total number of lawyers, in thousands, in a certain country x years after 1985.
(ii) 1244; there will be 1,244,000 lawyers in a certain country in the year 2025.
C. (i) (f + g)(x) = 397.7x; this is the total number of lawyers, in thousands, in a certain country x years after 1985.
(ii) 15,908; there will be 15,908,000 lawyers in a certain country in the year 2025.
D. (i) (f + g)(x) = 225.4x + 172.3; this is the total number of lawyers, in thousands, in a certain country x years after 1985.
(ii) 9188.3; there will be 9,188,300 lawyers in a certain country in the year 2025.
