Hey, just plug in a zero for the y value and solve.

HINT: 2x + 3(0) = 12

Let me know if you need more help or further help solving this problem!

jfraser · Answer

the x-intercept occurs when y = 0, so substitute and solve for x

anonymous · Answer

2x + 3(0) = 12 Plug in 0 for the y value

2x=12  solve for x by dividing each side by two

x=6

The x intercept is (6,0)

It's okay, now you know. The person doesn't learn much when you just give answers in contrast to leading them through the steps and letting them come to the conclusion.
