Problem
Given that the graphs of and intersect at and there is one point where the graphs of and must intersect. What is the sum of the coordinates of that point?
Solution
The given information tells us that \begin{array}{c@{\qquad}c}
h(2)=j(2)=2, & h(4)=j(4)=6, \\
h(6)=j(6)=12, & h(8)=j(8)=12.
\end{array}If the graphs of and intersect at then Checking the possibilities in the table above, we see that Thus, the graphs of and intersect at the sum of whose coordinates is
Final answer
16
