What is the x-intercept of the line given by the equation 2x + 3y = 12

OpenStudy (xguardians):

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!

OpenStudy (jfraser):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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)

@Lissettefrench2 it isn't good practice to spoon feed answers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh sorry, I did not know.

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.
