Given the equation -2x + 8y = 24, determine the x- and y-intercepts. PLZ HELP???

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

$x=(-12,0)$

$y=(0,3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercept

$-2(x-4y)=24$

$x-4y=-\frac{24}{2}$

$x-4y=-12$

$x=4y-12$

$x=4(0)-12$

$x=-12$

y-intercept

$-2(x-4y)=24$

$x-4y=-\frac{24}{2}$

$x-4y=-12$

$-4y=-12-x$

$y=-\frac{-12-x}{4}$

$y=-\frac{-12-(0)}{4}$

$y=\frac{12}{4}$

$y=3$

WILL GIVE LOTS OF POINTS HELP SOLVE SOON, NUMBER 7

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer: 4x + 3 = 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you don't know how much each pizza costs, you can write it as x.

You multiply x by 4 to get 4x and add 3 because thats how much the chips cost.

That added up should equal 39 because thats how much he spent.
