Exercise 2 Page 244

Create functions from the left-hand and right-hand sides of the equation.

Practice makes perfect
To graph the equation we create two functions out of the left- and right-hand sides of the equation.
The coordinate where the graphs of these functions intersect is the solution to our equation. Since the given equations are not in slope-intercept form, let's rewrite them so that it will be easier to identify their slopes and intercepts.
