Exercise 32 Page 443

The solution to an equation is the value of x where the two sides are equal.

x=2 and x=1.1187

Practice makes perfect
The solution to an equation is the values of x where the left-hand side and right-hand side are equal. From the exercise, we know that the equation intersects at two points

(2,0) and (1.1187, - 3.075) If we substitute these points x-values into the equation, the two sides will equal the point's y-value. Therefore, the equation's solutions are x=2 and x≈ 1.1187.
