Answer:
x-intercept: x = 8/3
y-intercept: y = 8
Step-by-step explanation:

y-intercept
Solve for x:
8 - 5 x = 2 x + 8
Subtract 2 x from both sides:
8 + (-5 x - 2 x) = (2 x - 2 x) + 8
-5 x - 2 x = -7 x:
-7 x + 8 = (2 x - 2 x) + 8
2 x - 2 x = 0:
8 - 7 x = 8
Subtract 8 from both sides:
(8 - 8) - 7 x = 8 - 8
8 - 8 = 0:
-7 x = 8 - 8
8 - 8 = 0:
-7 x = 0
Divide both sides of -7 x = 0 by -7:
(-7 x)/(-7) = 0/(-7)
(-7)/(-7) = 1:
x = 0/(-7)
0/(-7) = 0:
Answer: x = 0
Prob(first ball being blue) = 6 / (6 + 3 + 3) = 6/12 = 1/2
Prob ( picking a yellow ball) = 3 /12 = 1/4
As the 2 events are independent the probabilities are multiplied
So the answer is 1/2 * 1/4 = 1/8
