Question

What is the x-intercept of the line given by the equation x-4y=20 ?

Answer 1

First rewrite the equation so it reads
y=???

Answer 2

isn't it just x = 4y + 20 ? .-.

Answer 3

No

There is an easier way though

x intercept is given when y=0

SO set y=0 in the equation, and solve for x

Answer 4

so the answer is 0

Answer 5

NO
set y=0 in the original equation - then solv eth equation for the x value

Answer 6

okay your not really helping me understand how to do this problem

Answer 7

Do oyu mean I am not giving you the answer?

Answer 8

so
-4y = -x +20
y= -x/4 + 5
then make y = 0 and solve
Is that what you mean @MrNood ?

Answer 9

YES - that is OK

(you can do the same with the original equation x-4y=20 : just let y=0 you will then have the answer
