To graph both lines the first thing you should do is assign values of x to each equation and then get "y". Finally you must join the points. The solution for f (x) = g (x) is 2x-1 = -x + 5 3x = 6 x = 6/3 = 2 To find "y" f (2) = 2 (2) -1 = 3 or equivalently g (2) = - 2 + 5 = 3 The solution is then the ordered pair (x, y) = (2,3). Graphically this is the point where both lines are cut. See attached graph.
