Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
These are equations of lines with different slopes, so there is only one point of their intersect.
The point of intersect is where f(x) = g(x).
2(x - 1) - 5 = - 2x + 1
+2x +2x
2x - 2 - 5 + 2x = 1
+7 +7
4x = 8
÷4 ÷4
x = 2
Answer: x = 2
Explanation:
From the way you were referring to the x-values as plural, I assumed there were multiple x-values and multiple points of intersection, but these are linear equations, so one x-value it is!
Simply f(x)=2(x-1)-5 into f(x)=2x-7. Just plug in 2x-7, in order to make it equal to -2x+1. That would make the equation 2x-7=-2x+1. Add 7 to both sides to make it 2x=-2x+8. Add 2x to both sides to make it 4x=8. Divide 4 to both sides and that results with x=2.
