y-2=3%28x-3%29 Start with the given equation


0-2=3%28x-3%29 To find the x-intercept, let y=0. So plug in y=0


-2=3%28x-3%29 Combine like terms


-2=3x-9 Distribute


-2%2B9=3x%2Bcross%28-9%2B9%29 Add 9 to both sides



7=3x Combine like terms


7%2F3=cross%283%2F3%29x Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x



So our answer is x=7%2F3 which means the x-intercept is
