You have two equations.
since the second is already isolated, sub in x-4 for every y in equation 1 so that
![x^{2} - 4 [(x-4)^{2}] =16 ](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x%5E%7B2%7D%20-%204%20%5B%28x-4%29%5E%7B2%7D%5D%20%3D16%0A%20)
expand, collect like terms, factor to find x, then plug x value back into original equation to find y

Answer:
x ≈ {-11.789, +0.501, 11.288}
Step-by-step explanation:
The cubic g(x) - f(x) = 0 has three real solutions. It can be rewritten as ...
Since the solutions are irrational, they are best found using a spreadsheet or graphing calculator. My favorite graphing calculator shows the approximate solutions below.

<em>Comment on the problem statement</em>
Your expression for f(x) is ambiguous in that many Brainly questions have the exponentiation indicator replaced by a blank: 3 x -1 often means 3^x -1 and sometimes means 3^(x-1). We have taken the expression at face value and have assumed it is a linear expression. If otherwise, the problem is basically worked the same way: write a function h(x) = g(x) - f(x) and look for solutions to h(x) = 0. Graphing can be useful.
