Q. Find the xx-intercept of the line 3x+17y=213x + 17y = 21. Write your answer as an integer or as a simplified proper or improper fraction, not as an ordered pair.
  1. Set yy to 00: To find the x-intercept, we set yy to 00 and solve for xx.\newlineSubstitute 00 for yy in the equation 3x+17y=213x + 17y = 21.\newline3x+17(0)=213x + 17(0) = 21\newline3x=213x = 21
  2. Substitute in equation: Now, divide both sides of the equation by 33 to solve for xx.\newline3x3=213\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{21}{3}\newlinex=7x = 7
