The graphs of f(x) and g(x) are shown below: graph of function f of x equals x squared minus x minus 12. graph of function g of x equals negative 2.5 times x minus 2 what are the solutions to the equation f(x) = g(x)? x = −3, 4 x = −4, 2.5 x = −0.8, 2.5 x = 8, −8

Let's convert the word descriptions into mathematical equations first for illustration.

f(x) = x^2 - x - 12
g(x) = -2.5x - 2

Then, we equate g(x) and f(x). The final equation becomes
x^2 - x - 12 = -2.5x - 2

Then, we simplify by transposing and combining like terms.
x^2 - x + 2.5x -12 + 2 = 0
x^2 + 1.5x - 10 = 0

Since this is a quadratic equation, we find the roots by using the quadratic formula

 
where a = 1, b = 1.5 and c=-10





Thus, the answer is x = 2.5, -4.
