Q. Find the x-intercept of the line 14x+11y=−20. Write your answer as an integer or as a simplified proper or improper fraction, not as an ordered pair.
Set y to 0: To find the x-intercept, we set y to 0 and solve for x.Substitute 0 for y in 14x+11y=−20.14x+11(0)=−2014x=−20
Substitute y with 0: Now, we divide both sides by 14 to solve for x.1414x=14−20x=14−20
Divide by 14: Simplify the fraction −1420 by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2. x=(14/2)(−20/2) x=−710
