The solutions to f(x) = g(x) are where the x-values for which the output f(x) is equal to the output of g(x).
What I mean by this is for instance, you input 7 into f(x) and g(x) and you get the same answer, then 7 is a solution.
Here, we are looking in columns two and three to see which rows are equal. It looks like when you input 0 into both f(x) and g(x), you get 2, and when you input 1 into both f(x) and g(x), you get 3. Therefore, (0,2) and (1,3) are your solutions.
