Question

i'm trying to solve the x-intercept and having a hard time with it 5x+8y=40

Answer 1

an x-intercept is a point in the equation where the y-value is zero, and
a y-intercept is a point in the equation where the x-value is zero.

Using these definitions y=0 for the x intercept.

So, 5x+8(0) = 40
5x+0=40
5x=40
x=40/5
x=8 - Answer

The x intercept is 8
