Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

One is given a function and the value of the function at a certain output. One must set the function to the given output, and solve to find the input,

h(x) = - x - 2

h(x) = 3

Set the output equal to the input,

h(x) = - x - 2 = 3

Inverse operations,

- x - 2 = 3

+2 +2

- x = 5

*-1 *-1

x = -5

The graphs of f(x) and g(x) are shown below:

Elodia [21]

Answer:

-3.8, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to a system is where the graph cross each other. If you look to where they intersect to the left of the origin, where x is negative, it appears that they intersect ALMOST at -4, but not quite. So -3.8 is going to have to do since we don't have the equations of either graph to find the exact values of x. To the right of the origin, where x is positive, the graphs cross where x = 3..
