I have a test tomorrow and I need something clarified...?

My prof told us today that there was going to be a question on the test about projectile motion and relative motion combined and he went on to say that it would be a question such as a bullet is shot out of a gun from a moving vehicle. I wanted to know how this would affect the initial speed of the bullet. Would I just add the initial speed of the vehicle to the x-component of the initial velocity of the bullet? He never really gave an example in cl so I just wanted to clarify so I don't get stuck tomorrow. Thanks!
