Question

(PLEASE HURRY!) A table giving various values of linear functions f(x) and g(x) is shown below. What is the solution to the system?

Answer 1

A. (2, 1)

Explanation:

You want the solution to the system of equations represented by the given table and graph.

Solution

When we are given two functions and asked for "the solution to the system", we generally mean the value of x that satisfies f(x) = g(x). That will be represented on a graph as the point (x, f(x)), or (x, g(x)), where the function graphs intersect.

Table

When you're looking for the solution in a table, you look for the row of the table where the value of f(x) is the same as the value of g(x). For the given table, we see that f(x) = g(x) = 1 on the last row of the table, where x=2. This means the solution is ...

(x, f(x)) = (2, 1)
