I have already tried finding the X intercept by replacing all of the Y coefficients in the equation with 4(0) and 2(0) and, after simplifying everything, I got: -5x= -3x+16. So I did what I thought I should have done, which was dividing -5X by -5 to isolate the variable, and did the same on the other side. But, I am not sure as to where to put the other (divided by -5). So I tried both: <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=%28-5x%29%2F-5=%28-3x%2B16%29%2F-5 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"%28-5x%29%2F-5=%28-3x%2B16%29%2F-5\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" > and <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=%28-5x%29%2F-5=%28-3x%29%2F-5%2B16%2F-5 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"%28-5x%29%2F-5=%28-3x%29%2F-5%2B16%2F-5\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >. The first one resulted in x=0.6x and the second one became x=0.6x-3.2, I think. I don’t know what to do with this, please help. </SPAN>\n" );
