Answer:
(x, y) ≈ (2.848, -19.241)
Step-by-step explanation:
I find it much easier to work with the problem statement when math expressions are written using numbers and symbols. We assume you have ...
-4x +15y = -300
20x +4y = -20
Dividing the second equation by 4 and subtracting the x-term gives ...
y = -5-5x
Substituting that into the first equation, we get ...
-4x +15(-5-5x) = -300
-79x -75 = -300
x = -225/-79 = 2 67/79 ≈ 2.8481
Substituting this into the equation for y gives ...
y = -5(x +1) = -5(3 67/79) = -19 19/79 ≈ -19.2405
The approximate solution is ...
(x, y) = (2.8481, -19.2405)

Answer:
x-intercept: 7/6
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-intercept is found by solving for x when y=0.
0 = 6x -7
7 = 6x . . . . . add 7 to both sides of the equation
7/6 = x . . . . divide both sides by 6
The x-intercept is 7/6 = 1 1/6 ≈ 1.167.
__
The y-intercept is the constant in the given equation: -7. The slope of 6 tells you the line rises 6 units for 1 unit to the right. So, the point (1, -1) is another point on the graph. The line through those two points, (0, -7) and (1, -1), will intersect the x-axis at x=7/6.
