Answer:
- <u><em>The solution to f(x) = s(x) is x = 2012. </em></u>
Explanation:
<u>Rewrite the table and the choices for better understanding:</u>
<em>Enrollment at a Technical School </em>
Year (x) First Year f(x) Second Year s(x)
2009 785 756
2010 740 785
2011 690 710
2012 732 732
2013 781 755
Which of the following statements is true based on the data in the table?
- The solution to f(x) = s(x) is x = 2012.
- The solution to f(x) = s(x) is x = 732.
- The solution to f(x) = s(x) is x = 2011.
- The solution to f(x) = s(x) is x = 710.
<h2>Solution</h2>
The question requires to find which of the options represents the solution to f(x) = s(x).
That means that you must find the year (value of x) for which the two functions, the enrollment the first year, f(x), and the enrollment the second year s(x), are equal.
The table shows that the values of f(x) and s(x) are equal to 732 (students enrolled) in the year 2012,<em> x = 2012. </em>
Thus, the correct choice is the third one:
- The solution to f(x) = s(x) is x = 2012.

Answer: x = 13
Step-by-step explanation: When solving an equation like this, we are trying to get our variable which is our letter by itself.
So we first want to ask ourselves what is the 14 doing to <em>x</em>. Well, we can see that it's being added to <em>x</em> so to get <em>x</em> by itself, we will do the opposite of addition which is subtraction. So we subtract 14 from both sides of the equation.
The +14 -14 cancels out so we're left with <em>x</em> on the left.
On the right, we must subtract 14 from 27 to get 13.
So we have x = 13 which is the solution to this equation.
