well, x-intercept means for a graphed funciton where the x-axis gets touched/intercepted, Check the picture below, when that occurs, y = 0, so if we want to know what "x" is at that point we can simply set y = 0 and solve for "x".

$-3x-5y=12\implies \stackrel{\textit{setting y = 0}}{-3x-5(0) =12}\implies -3x-0=12 \\\\\\ -3x=12\implies x=\cfrac{12}{-3}\implies x = -4 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{coordinates}}{(-4~~,~~0)}~\hfill$

Answer:

14.4 or 15 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of yards covered by x bags is ...

(3 1/2)x = 50 1/4

x = (50 1/4)/(3 1/2) = 50.25/3.5 ≈ 14.4*

We assume that bags of chips are available only in integer quantities.

The PTA will need 15 bags of wood chips to cover the wet section.

_____

* The exact answer is 14 5/14. We hope that an integer number is the desired solution, as anything more precise than that seems inappropriate in this context.
