Let \(f(x) = \begin{cases} 9x+16 &\text{if }x<2, \\ 2x-14&\text{if }x\ge2. \end{cases} \)If \(f(x)=-2\), find the sum of all possible values of x.

9x + 16  = -2

9x = -18

x = -2         This one will not work because it is the piece of the function for x < 2      this answer is EQUAL to -2

 

2x - 14 = -2

2x = 12

x = 6            this is it
