y= 3/4x+10

What is x?

Answer 1

@imyoursquirtle

Answer 2

x usually means the input value, and y means the output value of an equation

^_^

Answer 3

@DemolisionWolf I know what it is, but I mean solve for x.

Answer 4

make the equation equal to 'x' not 'y'?

Answer 5

@DemolisionWolf

Answer 6

oooohh i see.

the x intercept means y=0
y= 3/4x+10
becomes
0= 3/4x+10

step 1) get the 'x term' alone , can you do this?

Answer 7

@DemolisionWolf Err, no...

Answer 8

0= 3/4x+10
hint* subtract 10 from both sides

Answer 9

-10 and 0??? @DemolisionWolf

Answer 10

0= 3/4x+10

like this:
0 - 10= 3/4x+10 -10
now simplify it ^_^

Answer 11

10 = 3/4 ??!!?

Answer 12

close! let just look at each side by its self
0-10 = -10
and
3/4x+10 -10 = 3/4x

so it is
-10 = 3/4x

now we need to get the x alone completely, so times both sides by 4

Answer 13

-10 times 4 = -40
3/4 times 4 = 3

@DemolisionWolf

Answer 14

excellent ^_^

Answer 15

-40 = 3x
is what we now have

now divide both sides by 3

Answer 16

-40 = -13
3 = 1

Answer 17

do
-40/3 =?
3x/3=?

Answer 18

I did. -13 & 1 were my answers.

Answer 19

oh, you got it, ya -13.33 and 1 are correct, but remember the 'x' with the 1, so it's 1x

Answer 20

Okay, so whats the answer out of these choices?

A. -13.3,0
B. 0,-13.3
C. 0,10
D. 10,0

Answer 21

alright, so remember way back at the start, when I said that an x-intercept means y=0?

so we know the that the answer has to look like this: ( # , 0)

and we just finished solving and got x=-13.3 remember?

Answer 22

So, it's A?

Answer 23

yep ^_^
