You need to expand (4x-7)(x+3), multiplying each term in the first bracket by each term in the second bracket, in order to get 4x^2+5x-21. Hope that helps!
<span><u>1/3x - 1/2y = 1</u>
At the 'x' intercept, y=0 , and the equation is 1/3 x = 1
Multiply each side by 3 : <em>x = 3 </em> <== the x-intercept
At the 'y' intercept, x=0, and the equation is -1/2 y = 1
Multiply each side by 2 : - y = 2
Multiply each side by -1 : <em> y = -2 </em> <== the y-intercept
</span>
Looks like the very definition for a rational number
