The x intercept of the line is at x = 10.
The x intercept is always the value of x when all other values are equal to 0. So in this case, we put 0 in for t and then solve.
-2x + 5t = -20
-2x + 5(0) = -20
-2x = -20
x = 10
There is no help me to do this sorry
From point A, draw a line segment at an angle to the given line, and about the same length. The exact length is not important. Set the compasses on A, and set its width to a bit less than one fifth of the length of the new line. Step the compasses along the line, marking off 5 arcs. Label the last one C. With the compasses' width set to CB, draw an arc from A just below it. With the compasses' width set to AC, draw an arc from B crossing the one drawn in step 4. This intersection is point D. Draw a line from D to B. Using the same compasses' width as used to step along AC, step the compasses from D along DB making 4 new arcs across the line. Draw lines between the corresponding points along AC and DB. Done. The lines divide the given line segment AB in to 5 congruent parts.
