We are required to find the value of x for which :


w(x)\text{ + t(x) = x}

Let us step through the values of x:

When x =1:

w(x) = -1, t(x) = -3


\begin{gathered} w(x)\text{ + t(x) = -1 +(-3)} \\ =\text{ -1 - 3} \\ =\text{ -4} \end{gathered}

This is not equal to 1. This is wrong

When x =2:

w(x) = 3, t(x) = -1


\begin{gathered} w(x)\text{ + t(x) = 3 + (-1)} \\ =\text{ 3 - 1} \\ =\text{ 2} \end{gathered}

This is equal to 2. This is correct.

Hence, the value of x for which w(x) + t(x) =x is 2
