$\"4x%2B2y%2B5y=20\"$ Start with the given equation\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x%2B7y=20\"$ Combine like terms.\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now let's find the intercepts\r

x-intercept

\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To find the x-intercept, plug in $\"y=0\"$ and solve for x\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x%2B7%280%29=20\"$ Plug in $\"y=0\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x%2B0=20\"$ Multiply $\"7\"$ and 0 to get 0.\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x=20\"$ Simplify.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=%2820%29%2F%284%29\"$ Divide both sides by $\"4\"$ to isolate $\"x\"$ .\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=5\"$ Reduce.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the x-intercept is

y-intercept
