Full solution

Q. Find the xx-intercept of the line 2x14y=162x - 14y = -16. 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 2x14y=162x - 14y = -16.\newline2x14(0)=162x - 14(0) = -16\newline2x=162x = -16
  2. Substitute yy with 00: Now, divide both sides of the equation by 22 to solve for xx.2x2=162\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{-16}{2}x=8x = -8
