The x - intercept of the line is 2
Explanation:
Given that the equation of the line is [tex]24 x-y=48[/tex]
The x - intercept:
The x - intercept is the value of x when y = 0
Hence, substituting y = 0 in the equation [tex]24 x-y=48[/tex], we have,
[tex]24x-0=48[/tex]
Simplifying, we get,
[tex]24x=48[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 24, we have,
[tex]x=2[/tex]
Thus, the x - intercept of the line is 2.
