Q. Find the xx-intercept of the line 10x+14y=1810x + 14y = -18. 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 10x+14y=1810x + 14y = -18.\newline10x+14(0)=1810x + 14(0) = -18\newline10x=1810x = -18
  2. Substitute in equation: Now, we divide both sides of the equation by 1010 to solve for xx.\newline10x10=1810\frac{10x}{10} = \frac{-18}{10}\newlinex=1810x = \frac{-18}{10}\newlinex=95x = \frac{-9}{5}
