What is the x-intercept of the line?

Answer 1

Can you simplify?

Answer 2

idk

Answer 3

Why does it have 2 equal sign?

Answer 4

Your use of the = sign twice in the same expression is problematic.
Please copy down and share this problem in simplest form, using ONLY ONE = sign.

Answer 6

Letting y=0

Answer 7

You can solve the x intercept the same as y intercept letting x=0

Answer 8

how

Answer 9

-2x+5(0)=-20

Answer 10

Letting y=0 you can now solve for x. :)

Answer 11

Got it?

Answer 12

how do i solve for x though

Answer 13

-2x+5(0)=-20 ---> 5*0=0
-2x+0=-20
-2x=-20 ---> devide by -2 both sides
-1/2(-2x)=-1/2(-20)
x=10
