Answer: Solution is x = -2

You have two equations with y1 = f(x) and y2 = g(x).

We're looking for the values of x such that f(x) = g(x). This is the same as trying to solve y1 = y2.

The first row of the table shows y1 and y2 having the same value 5. So we just record the x value that goes with these y values.
