Answer:

-14

Explanation:

It's multiple choice so we could plug in values of x and see which makes f(x)=g(x) true.

What I mean is would could plug in values of x to see which gives us

3x-4=4x+10 is true.

Or we could just solve it.

3x-4=4x+10

Subtract 3x on both sides:

-4=1x+10

-4=x+10

Subtract 10 on both sides:

-14=x

So x=-14 would make f(x)=g(x) hold.

Let's check it and see!

f(-14)=3(-14)-4=-42-4=-46.

g(-14)=4(-14)+10=-56+10=-46.

They have the same value of -46 so x=-14 is certainly going to make f(x)=g(x) be true.
