Answer:
(22,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Select any two points given and find their slope (rise/run)
(-38, 40) and (-23, 30)
slope = = - 2/3
2. Use the slope and one of the points to create an equation of the line in the format y = mx + b, where m = slope and b = y-intercept.
y = mx + b ⇒ 40 = -2/3 (-38) + b
3. Solve for b
40 = -2/3 (-38) + b
40 = 76/3 + b
40 - 76/3 = b
b = 44/3
4. To find the x-intercept, set y = 0, and solve.
y = -2/3 x + 44/3
0 = -2/3 x + 44/3
2/3 x = 44/3
x = 22
Hope this helped!

Answer:
n=21
Step-by-step explanation:
We must find n.
Remember PEMDAS. First we must do the Parentheses. Lets do distributive property by multiplying a number that is immediately outside the parentheses with each number inside the parentheses. Lets do this one side at a time.
First lets do 5(n - 7). We get 5n - 35
Now 2(n + 14) is 2n + 28
Okay...... now we have
Now lets do OPPOSITES!!!! We must do the opposite of each thing to both sides.
The opposite of -35 is positive 35. Lets add 35 to both sides. We get:
Now lets do the opposite of 2n which is -2n
this is looking quite nice isnt it..........
The opposite of 3 times n is 3 DIVIDED BY n. So lets divide both sides by 3
amazing.......
