The correct answer is C. Hope this helps.
Answer: (12,0)
Steps:
First, put the equation in slope-intercept form.
y=mx+b
1.5x + 4.5y =18
Subtract 1.5x from both sides.
4.5y =-1.5x +18
Divide both sides by 4.5 to isolate y.
y = -1/3x + 4
Then replace y with 0 because the point for the x-intercept is exactly on the x-axis so the y=0.
0 = -1/3x + 4
Subtract 4 from both sides
-4 = -1/3x
Divide both sides by -1/3 to isolate the x
12=x
Keep the denominators the same and subtract the numerators. So for example in your example:
7/8 - 3/8
Leave the 8 alone. Subtract 3 from 7.
7 - 3 = 4
So answer is:
4/8
Sometimes they may have to simplify the answer, and in this case, 4/8 could be simplified to 1/2
