Answer:

x-intercept: (3,0)

y-intercept: (0,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x and y-intercepts, we first need to understand what they are. X and y-intercepts are points on the line that passes through the x-axis and y-axis. When a point is an x-intercept, it passes through the x-axis. This means the x-coordinate is an integer, while the y-coordinate is always 0. This can be denoted by (x,0). When a point is a y-intercept, it passes through the y-axis. This means the y-coordinate is an integer, while the x-coordinate is always 0. This can be denoted by (0,y).

Now that we know what x and y-intercepts are, we can plug in x=0 and y=0 to find the intercepts.

x-intercept

4x-3y=12            [plug in y=0]

4x-3(0)=12          [multiply]

4x-0=12              [add both sides by 0]

4x=12                 [divide both sides by 4]

x=3

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

y-intercept

4x-3y=12            [plug in x=0]

4(0)-3y=12         [multiply]

0-3y=12             [subtract both sides by 0]

-3y=12               [divide both sides by -3]

y=-4

Therefore, the x-intercept is (3,0) and y-intercept is (0,-4).

xenn [34]
Angle A is 29 and Angle B is 61. It’s problem can be solved by written the equation X+X+32=90. This becomes 2X+32=90 subtract 32 from each side making 2X=58 divide by 2 X=29 and just plug x in to solve for both angle names.

Please help with this asap!! :)
Llana [10]

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

AB = x + 5

BC = 2(x - 3)

AB = BC

AB = BC

x + 5 = 2(x - 3)

x + 5 = 2x - 6

5 + 6 = 2x - x

     11 = x

     x = 11

happy to help :)
