Leah solves the equation 3x=50
by making the graph shown and finding the point of intersection.
Use the drop-down menus to complete the statement below about the solution to the equation.
A graph of a line and a curve. The line is labeled y = 50. It has slope 0 and y-intercept 50. The curve is labeled y = 3 to the x power. The curve approaches 0 as x heads to negative infinity. The curve intersects the line at a point labeled (3.56, 50).
CLEAR CHECK
The graph intersects
(3.56, 50)
, so the solution to 3x=50
is
equal to
.
