You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You didn't say, but I'm guessing that you have to graph this line. I'm going to use the intercept method.
\n" ); document.write( "-3x + 8y = 48
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let y=0 and solve for x, this is the x-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "-3x+8(0)=48
\n" ); document.write( "-3x+0=48
\n" ); document.write( "-3x=48
\n" ); document.write( "-3x/-3=48/-3
\n" ); document.write( "x=-16
\n" ); document.write( "Plot (-16,0)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Now let x=0 and solve for y, that is the y-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "-3(0)+8y=48
\n" ); document.write( "0+8y=48
\n" ); document.write( "8y=48y/8=48/8
\n" ); document.write( "y=6
\n" ); document.write( "Plot (0,6)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Connect the points and you have a line that looks like:
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28300%2C200%2C-20%2C5%2C-10%2C10%2C%283x%2B48%29%2F8%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Happy Calculating!!!
