The sum of the coordinates of these points is 204.

Since the graphs of y= h(x) and y= i(x) intersect at (2,2), (4,6), and (6, 12), we know that these are the x-coordinates of the three points where the graphs intersect. To find the y-coordinates of these points, we can plug the x-coordinates into the respective equations.

For y= h(x), we have:

h(2) = y

h(4) = 6

h(6) = 12

For y= i(x), we have:

i(2) = y

i(4) = 6

i(6) = 12

The question states that there is one point where the graphs of y= h(2x) and y= 2j(x) must intersect. This means that there is one x-value for which both equations are equal. To find this x-value, we can set the two equations equal to each other:

h(2x) = 2j(x)

We can plug in the x-coordinates that we know from the first part of the question:

h(2(2)) = 2j(2)

h(4) = 2j(2)

h(2(4)) = 2j(4)

h(8) = 2j(4)

h(2(6)) = 2j(6)

h(12) = 2j(6)

We can now solve for the y-coordinates of these points:

y = 2j(2)

y = 18

y = 2j(4)

y = 48

y = 2j(6)

y = 144

The sum of the coordinates of these points is 204.
