Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem asks, "Which input value produces the same output value for the two functions on the graph?"
The graph shows two linear functions, (red line) and (blue line). To answer the question, we need to find the -value where both functions intersect, as this is where they produce the same output value.
By looking at the intersection of the two lines, the coordinates of the intersection appear to be at , where both functions seem to have the same output value of .
Thus, the correct input value is:

Tip: When two lines intersect on a graph, the -coordinate at the intersection is where both functions produce the same output value (i.e., their -values are equal).
