Answer:

(1, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to the system of equations is the point of intersection of the two lines.  From inspection of the graph, the point of intersection is at (1, 5).

Proof

The solution to a system of equations is the point at which the two lines meet.  

⇒ g(x) = f(x)

⇒ 3x + 2 = |x - 4| + 2

⇒ 3x = |x - 4|

⇒ 3x = x - 4   and   3x = -(x - 4)

⇒ 3x = x - 4

⇒ 2x = -4

⇒ x = -2

Inputting x = -2 into the 2 equations:

⇒ g(-2) = 3 · -2 + 2 = -4

⇒ f(-2) = |-2 - 4| + 2 = 8

Therefore, as the y-values are different, x = -2 is NOT a solution

⇒ 3x = -(x - 4)

⇒ 3x = 4 - x

⇒ 4x = 4

⇒ x = 1

Inputting x = 1 into the 2 equations:

⇒ g(1) = 3 · 1 + 2 = 5

⇒ f(1) = |1 - 4| + 2 = 5

Therefore, as the y-values are the same, x = 1  IS a solution

and the solution is (1, 5)
