Question 1209876
<pre>

On your TI-84 graphing calculator,

1. Press Y=
2. Make the screen read:

      Plot1 Plot2 Plot3 
     /Y1  =(2X+5)/(X+3)
     /Y2  =12/(X-1)

3. Press ZOOM then 6

See this graph:

{{{drawing(600,450,-10,10,-10,10,
circle(7.3059371,1.9029686,.25),
circle(-2.805937,-3.152969,.25),
graph(600,450,-10,10,-10,10,12/(x-1),(2x+5)/(x+3)) )))}}}

Notice there are two points where the curves intersect. I have 
drawn circles around the two points.  We want the x-coordinate 
of the circled point on the right for it will have a larger 
x-value.

4. Press 2ND TRACE 5

Use the right arrow key to move the cursor to the right as close
as possible to the point.

5. Press ENTER ENTER ENTER.

Read X=7.3059371 at the bottom of the screen.  
That's the approximate answer.
