Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
You find the x-intercept by setting y=0 and solving for x.
8x -1/3(0) = 16
8x = 16
x = 16/8 = 2
The x-intercept is 2.

<em>Additional comment</em>
As you can see, the x-intercept is the ratio of the constant to the x-coefficient. The same is true for the y-intercept. It is 16/(-1/3) = -48.
That is true because <3 and <5 are remote interior to 1
Answer:
x=12
Step-by-step explanation:
27+6x=99
We want to get x alone
Subtract 27 from each side
27-27+6x=99-27
Divide each side by 6
6x = 72
Divide each side by 6
6x/6 =72/6
x = 12
