Answer:


x=6

Point: (6,0)

Explanation:

The line intersects the x-axis when the value of "y" is equal to zero.

Then, to find the x intercept, you need to substitute
y=0 into the equation
5x-3y=30 and solve for "x":


5x-3y=30\\5x-3(0)=30\\5x=30

The Division property of equality states that:

If
a=b, then
(a)/(c)=(b)/(c)

Then, you can divide both sides of the equation by 5:


(5x)/(5)=(30)/(5)\\\\x=6

Therefore, the x intercept of the graph of
5x-3y=30 is:


x=6

Point: (6,0)
