Question

Complete the following steps for this equation.

3x – 15 = 5y 1.

1. Write the equation in standard form.

2. Find the x-intercept, and write it as an ordered pair.

Answer 1

3x - 5y = 15. You can get this by subtracting the y term from both sides and then adding the 15 to both sides. 

(5,0). You can get this by putting a 0 in for y and solving for x.
