Answer:

X INTERCEPT = -0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the X intercept you simply replace the Y with a zero.

this would make it 0=4x+2

now you solve it as usual.

0=4x+2

-2=4x

-2/4=4x/4

-0.5=x

x=-0.5

set y equal to zero and solve for 'x'

0 = 4x + 2

-2 = 4x

-2/4 = x

x = -1/2

Solve for m. 5m + 3m - 8 = 64 a m = 9 b m = 2 c m = -2 d m = 5

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{m = 9}}}}}$

Option A is the correct option

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf{5m + 3m - 8 = 64}$

Collect like terms

⇒ $\sf{8m - 8 = 64}$

Move 8 to right hand side and change it's sign

⇒ $\sf{8m = 64 + 8}$

Add the numbers

⇒ $\sf{8m = 72}$

Divide both sides of the equation by 8

⇒ $\sf{ \frac{8m}{8} = \frac{72}{8} }$

Calculate

⇒ $\sf{m = 9}$

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!
