Answer

False

Work Step by Step

Consider $T_1:R \rightarrow R,T_1(x)=x \\ T_2: R \rightarrow R, T_2(x)=-x$ Since $T_1$ and $T_2$ are linear transformations and onto, then $(T_1+T_2):R \rightarrow R$. We obtain: $(T_1+T_2)(x)=T_1(x)+T_2(x)=0$ Thus, $Ker(T_1+T_2)=R \ne \{0\}$, $T_1 + T_2$ is not one-to-one.
