Full solution

Q. Find the xx-intercept of the line 15x+y=415x + y = -4. 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 15x+y=415x + y = -4.\newline15x+(0)=415x + (0) = -4\newline15x=415x = -4
  2. Substitute yy with 00: Now, we solve for xx by dividing both sides of the equation by 1515.15x15=415\frac{15x}{15} = \frac{-4}{15}x=415x = \frac{-4}{15}
