X intercept is when y = 0
3x -15(0) = 60
3x = 60
x = 20
y intercept is when x=0
3(0) -15y = 60
-15y = 60
y = -4
Answer is C
Steps to solve:
x/3 + 1/4 = 1/3
~Subtract 1/4 to both sides
x/3 = 1/12
~Multiply 3 to both sides
x = 1/4
Best of Luck!
Answer:
x intercept at (7/3 , 0)
y intercept at (0,-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
9x-7y=21
we need to find x and y intercepts
To find x intercept , plug in 0 for y
9x - 7(0) = 21
9x = 21
divide by 9 on both sides
x= 21/ 9 = 7/3
so x intercept at (7/3 , 0)
To find y intercept , plug in 0 for x
9(0) - 7(y) = 21
-7y = 21
divide by -7 on both sides
y= -3
so y intercept at (0,-3)
Since they each paid the same amount, we can figure out that 9*4=36 dollars is the price of the gift. Next, since there was a 10% discount (or 0.1 by moving the decimal 2 spots to the left), we can say that the original gift price is x and
x-0.1*x=0.9*x due to that we subtract the 10% discount (and it's 10% of the original price). In addition, the sisters paid 0.9*x, which is 36. Dividing both sides by 0.9, we get x=40
