\"\"

\

The equation is \"\".

\

a.

\

Make a table of values with five points for \"\"and \"\" and Graph the points from the tables.

\

Construct the tables.

Graph:

\

Plot the points \"\" and \"\".

\

b.

\

Solve the equation.

\

\"\"                             (Original equation)

\

\"\"            (Subtract \"\" from each side)

\

\"\"                                   (Apply additive inverse property : \"\")

\

\"\"                       (Add \"\" to each side)

\

\"\"                                         (Apply additive inverse property : \"\")

\

\"\"                                 (Divide each side by \"\")

\

\"\"                                           (Cancel common terms)

\

Therefore,the value of \"\" is \"\".

\

\"\"

\

c.

\

Find the intersection point.

\

Graph the line equations \"\"and \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Observe the graph:

\

The lines intersect when \"\".

\

This is the \"\"-coordinate for the point of intersection on the graph.

\

b. The value of \"\" is \"\".

\

c.

\

The lines intersect when \"\".

\

This is the \"\"-coordinate for the point of intersection on the graph.
