To find the x-intercept, we need to set y equal to zero and solve for x:

0 = log(7x + 3) - 2

2 = log(7x + 3)

10^2 = 7x + 3

97 = 7x

x = 97/7

To find the y-intercept, we need to set x equal to zero and evaluate y:

y = log(7(0) + 3) - 2

y = log(3) - 2

Using a calculator, we can find that y is approximately -1.10.

Therefore, the x-intercept is approximately 13.86 and the y-intercept is approximately -1.10, rounded to the nearest hundredth.
