As given by the question

There are given that the graph of f(x) and g(x)

Now,

From the graph, we have to solve equation f(x)=g(x)

In the graph f(x) and g(x) will be equal at the point where they meet each other

Since y will be the value of f(x) and g(x).

So,

We need the same value of y for both f(x) and g(x) and the same value for y will be at a point where both functions meet each other.

Now

Looking at the graph, we can see that graph of function f(x) and g(x) intersect at two-point (-1, -10) and (5.5, 12)

Hence, the value of x from pair of solution is x=-1, 5.4

So, option A is correct.
