You can put this solution on YOUR website!
We know that whenever we have an x-intercept, the y value is always 0. We can substitute 0 for y and solve for x (which will be our x-intercept).
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x+-+2%2A0+=+24\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x=24\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x%2F3=24%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=8\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Similarly, whenever we have a y-intercept, the x value is always 0.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2A0+-+2y+=+24\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-2y=24\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-2y%2F-2=24%2F-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=-12\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
