<span> Suppose the # of litres in the small container is 'x'.
This would make '2x' litres of water in the larger container.
After taking 8 litres from both containers, the following equation can be written:

(2x-8) = 3 (x-8)

Open the brackets:

2x-8 = 3x-24

Collect like terms:

x = 16

There were 16 litres in the smaller container</span>

X and y intercepts of y=3x-6
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

x intercept=2, y intercept= -6

Step-by-step explanation:

X Intercept is when the graph crosses the X Axis, point of intersection. To find it, just convert into standard form and solve for x by getting rid of y.

The Y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis, point of intersection. It is the constant in the slope-intercept form.
