It will just keep going on as a decimal so you do not need to keep going, three spaces after the decimal should be an acceptable answer.
If there is only one variable and it is linear, there can only be one solution.
Hello! The x-intercept is where the line crosses the x-axis when y = 0. We already have the expression shown. We will plug in 0 as y to get this:
5x - 8(0) = 40.
As you probably know, anything times 0 is 0, so -8 * 0 is 0. All we have is 5x = 40. Divide each side by 5 to isolate the x. 5x/5 cancels out. 40/5 is 8. There. x = 8. The x-intercept is (8, 0).
