Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

I used the process of substitution to do this.

1. put both equations into slope-intercept form:

y = 3x - 5

y = -2x + 5

2. since they both equal y, they must equal each other:

3x - 5 = -2x + 5

3. simplify:

2 = x

If f(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) =4x - 1, find f(4).

Solve the "f" function with substitute 4 and solve the "g" function with what we get for the "f" function.

f(4) = 2(8) + 3

f(4) = 16 + 3

f(4) = 19

g(19) = 4(19) - 1

g(19) = 76 - 1

g(19) = 75
