Answer:

The graph is uploaded in the attachment.

The value of x is 2.625.

Explanation:

  • let us plot f(x), g(x) on y-axis

so, f(x)=y and g(x)=y.

  • the first equation can be written as y=5-2x
  • the general equation of a straight is y=mx+c

( where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept )

  • now comparing given equation with the general equation mentioned above, the slope of first line is -2 and its y-intercept is 5
  • the slope of second equation i.e, y=(2/3)x-2 is 2/3 and its y-intercept is -2.
  • now plot the graph using above information.

(y-intercept is the the coordinate of a point where the line intersects y-axis)

(slope is the angle made by the line with the x-axis)

  • by seeing the graph, the value of x is 2.625.
