Question

Determine the solution to f(x) = g(x) using the following system of equations: (5 points) f(x) = 3x − 23 g(x) = −4.5x + 7

Answer 1

(The solution is (4, -11).

Step-by-stp explanation:

Let f(x) = g(x) = y:

y = 3x − 23

y = -4.5x + 7 Subtract the second equation from the first to eliminate y:

0 = 7.5x - 30

7.5x = 30

x = 4

Plug this into the first equation:

y = 3(4) - 23

y = -11.
