Find the x - and y-intercepts of the graph of the linear equation 2x + 3y = 12.

1 answer:

4 0

1. To find the y-intercept, replace x with zero.

2(0)+3y=12
= 3y=12

Divide both sides by 3,
3y/3=y 12/3=4

So Y-intercept is: 4

2. To find the X-intercept, replace y with zero.

2x + 3(0) = 12
2x=12

Divide both sides by 2
2x/2=x. 12/2= 6

So, x-intercept: 6
y-intercept: 4

Bob and Mark talk about their families. Bob says he has 3 kids, the product of their ages is 72. He gives another clue: the sum

makvit [3.9K]

The first clue to this problem is that Bob has three kids in which the product of their ages is 72 and the sum is 14. From the factor tree, there are two combinations of the ages 2, 6, 6 and<span> 3,3,8. Last thing he said is that his youngest is named Justice. One combination has similar number in the set which means there are twins. The youngest means there can be only one child. Hence the ages of the children are 2,6,and 6. </span>
