Question

Determine the x-intercept for 3x + 2y = 14. A) (7, 0) B) (0, 7) C) ( 14 3 , 0) D) (0, 14 3 )

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{C.\ \left(\dfrac{14}{3},\ 0\right)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{The x-intercept is for y = 0.}\\\\\text{Put y= 0 to the equation}\ 3x + 3y = 14:\\\\3x + 3(0) = 14\\\\3x + 0 = 14\\\\3x = 14\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\x =\dfrac{14}{3}$

Answer 2

The answer is C.) (14 3 , 0)
