Split the second term in 6x^2 + 17x + 5 into two terms

6x^2 + 15x + 2x + 5 = 0

Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.

3x(2x + 5) + (2x + 5) = 0

Factor out the common term 2x + 5

(2x + 5)(3x + 1) = 0

Solve for x

x = -5/2, -1/3

What is the x-intercept of the equation -7x+3y=21

mezya [45]

Hello!!

Well, the x-intercept is found when y = 0, so plug in y = 0:

-7x + 3(0) = 21
-7x = 21
x = -3

Therefore, the x-intercept of -7x + 3y = 21 is -3.

Hope this helps!! Let me know if you have ANY questions.
