Jack wants to paint his house. he collected quotations from two different painters. The first painter's total cost in terms of the number of hours, (x), worked was modelled as f(x) = 70 + 5x, while that of the second painter was g(x) = 40 + 10x. Jack knows that it will take about 6 hours to paint the house. He figured out that the cost quoted by the two painters is equal for 6 hour of work.
