You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A x-intercept is when y=0.
\n" ); document.write( "There are two ways you can do this.
\n" ); document.write( "First way:
\n" ); document.write( "Set y=0 in your equation
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x%2B5%280%29=30\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x=30\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=10\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Second way:
\n" ); document.write( "Graph it and see where it crosses the x-axis
\n" ); document.write( " $\"graph%28400%2C400%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C%28-3%2F5%29x%2B6%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Both ways, you end with (10,0).\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps! \n" ); document.write( "
