You can put this solution on YOUR website! 4x+y=8x=3y-15 To find the x-intercept, substitute in 0 for y and solve for x.
 4x+(0)=8x=3(0)-15
 Remove the parentheses around the expression 0.
 4x+0=
 Remove the 0 from the polynomial; adding or subtracting 0 does not change the value of the expression.
 4x=
 Divide each term in the equation by 4.
 (4x)/(4)=()/(4)
 Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.
 x=()/(4)
 To find the y-intercept, substitute in 0 for x and solve for y.
 4(0)+y=8(0)=3y-15
 Multiply 4 by each term inside the parentheses.
 0+y=
 Solve the equation.
 y=
 These are the x and y intercepts of the equation 4x+y=8x=3y-15.
 x=()/(4), y=
