Answer: when the equations are equal, that is when x = 1 or x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The dog will receive the ball , when both equations intercept , that is , when both equations are equal. This implies :
[tex]x^{2}[/tex] - x + 2 = 2x
[tex]x^{2}[/tex] - x - 2x + 2 = 0
x(x-1) - 2 (x - 1 ) = 0
(x - 1 ) ( x - 2 ) =0
Therefore , x = 1 or x = 2
