Question 775452: i need help solving the equation graphically and then checking the results algebraially
Answer by sofiyac(983) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
make a table of x and y values, plug in any value for x and solve for y (ie ) that will give you points to plot the graph. you need about 5 or so points. Then plot it and see where the graph crosses x axis. next plug those points in to see if left side equals right side.

from the graph you can tell that the solution is at x=6 so plug that into your equation

left side equals right side so solution is correct
