Two functions are shown below. for which value of x does f(x) = g(x)?
f(x) = 4x-4, g(x) = 2(3)^x-6
this question was on my math 1 review so i think that the answer should be relatively uncomplicated. i looked around and only managed to find stuff dealing with logarithms, which i don't understand. any would be appreciated.

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm
