Okay.
Well, first of all you need to know what an x-intercept is.
It's the point of when the line crosses over the x-axis. For this, situation it crosses twice. An x-intercept written out is normally written out as (#, 0)
Out of that table you have two that apply to (#, 0)
(-6, 0) and (11,0)
the question is asking for a positive x-intercept. I'm guessing you know the difference. between negative and positive. but just in case, I'll use the number 5. As a positive: 5 As a negative: -5
So, you have -6 and 11.
the 6 is negative(-) the 11 is positive(+).
So your answer would be (11,0)
I hope this helped! :)
25 kids in all
2xboys:3x girls
so the equation would be
2x+3x=25
solve,
5x=25
/5 /5
x=5
2x=10
3x=15
10 boys and 15 girls
