Answer:

This problem wants you to substitute the answers from the table into the equation to find the solution, which is when the input gives the same output basically.

f(x) = 2.5x -10.5                          g(x) = 64(0.5)^x

when x= 2...                                when x= 2...

f(2) = 2.5(2) - 10.5                        g(2) = 64(0.5)^2

f(2) = 5 - 10.5 = -5.5                     g(2) = 64(.25)= 16

when x= 3...                                 when x= 3...

f(3) = 2.5(3) - 10.5                         g(3) = 64(0.5)^3

f(3) = 7.5 - 10.5 = -3                      g(3) = 64(0.125) =8

when x= 4...                               when x = 4...

f(4) = 2.5(4) - 10.5                       g(4) = 64(0.5)^4

f(4) = 10 - 10.5 = -0.5                  g(4) = 64(0.0625) = 4

when x= 5...                               when x= 5...

f(5) = 2.5(5) - 10.5                      g(5) = 64(0.5)^5

f(5) = 12.5 - 10.5 = 2                   g(5) = 64(0.03125) = 2

when x= 6...                               when x = 6...

f(6) = 2.5(6) - 10.5                       g(6) = 64(0.5)^6

f(6) = 15 - 10.5 = 4.5                   g(6) = 64(0.015625) = 1
