How to isolate $f(x)$ in $f(x+a)=f(x)+a\times g(x)$?

$a \in \mathbb{R}$

$f:\mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$

$g:\mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$

For generic functions $f$ and $g$, how isolate $f(x)$ in the equation below?

$f(x+a)=f(x)+a\times g(x)$

I tried to use Fourier Transform and Inverse Fourier Transform but looks like this don't work very well.

$f(x - a)=$ $e^{-2\pi i a \xi} \hat{f}(\xi)$

$\hat{f}(\xi)=$ $\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}f(x) e^{-2\pi i x\xi}\, dx \quad$ (Fourier Transform)
