F(x) = g(x)

f(x) = 3x + 12
g(x) = -9.5x -13

Since both are equal. then

3x + 12 = -9.5x - 13
3x + 9.5x = -13 - 12
12.5x = - 25
12.5x/12.5 = -25/12.5
x = -2

to check:
f(-2) = 3(-2) + 12 = -6 + 12 = 6
g(-2) = -9.5x - 13 = -9.5(-2) -13 = 19 - 13 = 6

f(x) = g(x)
f(-2) = g(-2)

<em>The right answer for:</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The cosine function is an even function, which means that for every point $(x,y)$ on the graph of $y=cos(x)$ then the point $(-x,y)$ also lies on the graph of the function. In other words, we can write:

$cos(-170^{\circ})=cos(170^{\circ})$

But:

$170^{\circ}=180^{\circ}-10^{\circ}$

So:

$cos(170^{\circ})=cos(180^{\circ}-10^{\circ})$

By property:

$cos(a-b)=cosacosb+sinasinb \\ \\ a=180^{\circ} \\ \\ b=10^{\circ} \\ \\ cos(170^{\circ} )=cos(180^{\circ} -10^{\circ})=cos180^{\circ} cos10^{\circ} +sin180^{\circ} sin10^{\circ} \\ \\ cos(170^{\circ})=-cos(10^{\circ})+0 \\ \\ \boxed{cos(170^{\circ})=-cos(10^{\circ})}$
