$\"+-3x%2B8y=24+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Add $\"3x\"$ to both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+8y+=+3x+%2B+24+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+%283%2F8%29%2Ax+%2B+3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "This is in the form $\"+y+=+m%2Ax+%2B+b+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "where $\"b+=+3\"$ is the y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "The x-intercept is found by setting $\"+y+=+0+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+0+=+%283%2F8%29%2Ax+%2B+3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%283%2F8%29%2Ax+=+-3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3x+=+-24+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+-8+\"$ is the x-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "Here's a graph:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+graph%28+400%2C+400%2C+-12%2C+6%2C+-4%2C+8%2C+%283%2F8%29%2Ax+%2B+3%29+\"$
