Answer
Equation: $2x-5 =4(3x+1)-2.$
Solution set : $\{ -0.7 \}$
Work Step by Step
In the $\fbox{$Y=$}$ screen, read the functions that have been entered:
$y_{1}=2x-5$ and $y_{2}=4(3x+1)-2$
The equation to solve is to find x for which $y_{1}= y_{2}$, that is
$2x-5 =4(3x+1)-2.$
In the table of function values screen,
we find that when$\quad x=-.7 \qquad $(row 4)
then$\quad y_{1}=y_{2}=-6.4$
meaning that $x=-0.7$ is the solution to the equation.
