Q. Find the xx-intercept of the line 7x17y=287x - 17y = -28. 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 need to set yy to 00 and solve for xx.\newlineSubstitute 00 for yy in the equation 7x17y=287x - 17y = -28.\newline7x17(0)=287x - 17(0) = -28\newline7x=287x = -28
  2. Substitute yy with 00: Now, we divide both sides of the equation by 77 to solve for xx.7x7=287\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{-28}{7}x=4x = -4
