Answer:


x=-(2)/(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:


f(x)=-3x+4\\\\And\\\\g(x)=2

We need to know for which value of
x the function
f(x) is equal to
g(x):


f(x)=g(x)

Therefore, we need to solve for the previous equation for
x:

Replacing the values of
f(x) and
g(x):


-3x+4=2

Subtract 4 from both sides:


-3x+4-4=2-4\\\\-3x=-2

Multiply both sides by -1


-3x(-1)=-2(-1)\\\\3x=2

Divide both sides by 3:


(3x)/(3) =(2)/(3) \\\\x=(2)/(3)

Therefore the value of
x for which
f(x)=g(x) is
x=(2)/(3).

Verify the result:


-3((2)/(3) )+4=2\\\\-2+4=2\\\\2=2
