Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

G(x) = -x - 4 and 9g(x) = 9. To find the values of x you can use the second equation to solve for g(x) and then substitute that value into the first equation.

Given:

G(x) = -x - 4

9g(x) = 9

First, solve equation (2) for g(x):

9g(x) = 9

Divide both sides by 9:

g(x) = 9 / 9

g(x) = 1

Now that you know g(x) = 1, you can substitute this value into equation (1):

G(x) = -x - 4

1 = -x - 4

Now, solve for x:

Add 4 to both sides:

1 + 4 = -x

5 = -x

Multiply both sides by -1 to isolate x:

-5 = x

So, the solution is x = -5. This value of x makes both equations true simultaneously.
