Answer:
a) (3, 0), (0, -2)
b) see below
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-intercept is found by setting y=0 and solving for x:
2x = 6
x = 6/2 = 3 . . . point (3, 0), x-intercept
The y-intercept is found by setting x=0 and solving for y:
-3y = 6
y = 6/-3 = -2 . . . point (0, -2), y-intercept
__
The graph is the line through these points.

Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
As you have indicated, you want to multiply both sides of the equation by 6x.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The denominator on the left is x. The least common denominator on the right is 6. To clear fractions, you can multiply by the product of these values: 6x. Doing this gave us the one-step linear equation 6 = 3x.
As with any operation performed on an equation, the operation must be performed <em>on both sides of the equation</em>. Here, we <em>multiply both sides by 6x</em>. It is a bit unconventional and confusing to show that multiplication as you have shown it in your figure. Usually, it would be shown as in the 2nd line of the solution, above.
