Answer:

(42, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know the slope and y-intercept we can write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form which is y = mx + b; therefore, the equation is y = -3/7x + 18. To find the x-intercept, we just plug in y = 0 which becomes:

0 = -3/7x + 18

-18 = -3/7x

x = 42

\text{In order to find your x intercept, plug in 0 to y and solve:}\\\\0=-\frac{3}{7}x+18\\\\\text{Subtract 18 from both sides}\\\\-18=-\frac{3}{7}x\\\\\text{Multiply both sides by 7}\\\\-126=-3x\\\\\text{Divide both sides by 3}\\\\42 = x\\\\\text{This means that the x-intercept is (42,0)}\\\\\boxed{\text{x-intercept: (42,0)}}

-8 + 3h = 1 <br>i need help its a 2 step equation​
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

h = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

-8 + 3h = 1

Add 8 to both sides.

3h = 1 + 8

Add 1 and 8 to get 9.

3h = 9

Divide both sides by 3.

h = \frac{9}{3}

Divide 9 by 3 to get 3.

h = 3
