Question
In parts (a) and (b), use the given figure.

(a) Solve the equation: \( f(x) = g(x) \).

(b) Solve the inequality \( g(x) \leq f(x) < h(x) \).

**Graph Description:**

The graph features three lines:

1. **\(y = f(x)\)**: A diagonal line crossing through points \((-4, -2)\) and \((0, -2)\).

2. **\(y = g(x)\)**: A horizontal line crossing at \((0, -2)\).

3. **\(y = h(x)\)**: A diagonal line crossing at points \((0, 8)\) and \((2, 8)\).

Two points where lines intersect:

- \((0, -2)\) where \(f(x)\) and \(g(x)\) intersect.
- \((2, 8)\) where \(g(x)\) and \(h(x)\) intersect.

**(a) For what value of \(x\) does \(f(x) = g(x)\)?**

\[x = \boxed{0}\]
