Question

find the x intercept of the line 3x+8y=11

Answer 1

\[\left( \frac{ 11 }{ 3 } ,0 \right)\]

Answer 2

replace y with 0

3x+8y=11
3x+8*0=11
3x+0=11
3x = 11

now isolate x by dividing both sides by 3

3x=11
3x/3 = 11/3
x = 11/3

you can decide to leave it as a fraction or convert to decimal form

Answer 3

Yeah 11/3, usually on this question for 3x and 8y you would divide by 3.
