Q. Find the x-intercept of the line 8x+14y=15. 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 of the line, we need to set y to 0 and solve for x. This is because the x-intercept is the point where the line crosses the x-axis, and at this point, the value of y is 0.
Substitute y=0: Substitute y=0 into the equation 8x+14y=15. 8x+14(0)=15 8x=15
Solve for x: Now, solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 8. 88x=815x=815
