Answer

a) $x=7$; b) $[-4,7)$

Work Step by Step

a) $f(x)=g(x)$ The intersection points of the graphs of $f$ and $g$ is $(7,-8)$. The solution of the given equation is the $x$-coordinate of the intersection point: $x=7$ b) $g(x)\lt f(x)\leq h(x)$ The solution of the inequality consists of the values of $x$ for which the graph of $f$ is above the graph of $g$ and below or equal to the graph of $h$: $x\in[-4,7)$
