Question

5x + 3y = 24

Identify the x- and y-intercept and graph the equation on the coordinate plane to the left. What is the x-value when y is 3? Answer these questions in the text box below.

Answer 1

x-int is 24/5 y-int is 8 and x value when y is 3 is 3

Explanation:

So for the x int, we can plug in 0 for y, because in a x intercept, the y is zero.

5x=24

x=24/5

for the y int, we can plug in 0 for x, because in a y intercept, the x is zero.

3y=24

y=3

now when y is 3, we can just plug that in.

5x + 3 times 3 = 24

5x+9=24

5x=15

x=3

hope this helps
