Answer:

X-intercept states that the graph crosses the x-axis.

Substitute y = 0 and solve for x.

As per the statement:

Harry's school is selling t-shirts to raise money for the archery team.

The school will receive 35% of the total sales which can be modeled by the equation:

y = 0.35x

where, x represents the total number of sales and y represents the total cost of sale.

By definition of x-intercept:

0 = 0.35x

⇒x = 0

Therefore, the x-intercept in the equation represents:

The number of sales when no money has been raised.
