Question 1186737
<br>
A student who already knows how to work the problem will understand what the response from tutor @josgarithmetic means.  But that response is too cryptic to be of any use to the student who is trying to learn HOW to solve the problem.<br>
And finding the answer doesn't require as much effort as shown in the response from the other tutor....<br>
The "x-value of the x-intercept" of a graph is the x value when y is zero.  So simply substitute y=0 in the given equation and solve for x.<br>
{{{-5x+4(0)=10}}}
{{{-5x=10}}}
{{{x=10/-5=-2}}}<br>
ANSWER: x=-2<br>
