To find the solution, you plug in the numbers into x, and figure out which x value gets f(x) = g(x)

[The number has to be the same on both sides of the = sign]

x = 2

f(x) = 2.5x - 10.5 Plug in 2 for x

f(2) = 2.5(2) - 10.5 = 5 - 10.5 = -5.5

g(x) = 64(0.5)ˣ

g(2) = 64(0.5)² = 16

Do the same for the rest of the x values, and whichever x value has f(x) = g(x), is your solution. [the solution should be x = 5]
