For the given set of equations, the values of x = -8 and x = -2.
We have, f(x) = x² + 7x- 24 and g(x) = -3x - 40
An Equation is an algebraic statement that shows that two quantities are equal.
For one x-value of a solution,
We equate both the given functions,
Thus, f(x) = g(x)
x² + 7x- 24 = -3x - 40
+7x + 3x -24 + 40 = 0
+10x + 16 =0
+ 8x + 2x +16 =0
x(x+8) + 2(x +8) =0
(x+8) (x+2) = 0
x = -8 and x = -2
Hence, Concluding, we have x = -8 and x = -2
