Algebra.Com's Answer #484124 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! f(x)=-2x+5\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I need to find the x-intercept of the linear equation as a reduced fraction.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This is what I did: \n" ); document.write( "0=-2x+5 \n" ); document.write( "0-5=-2x+5-5 \n" ); document.write( "-5=-2x \n" ); document.write( "-5/-2=-2x/-2 \n" ); document.write( "-5/-2=x \n" ); document.write( "This answer was wrong.
