Q. Find the xx-intercept of the line 7x+7y=17x + 7y = -1. 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 7x+7y=17x + 7y = -1.\newline7x+7(0)=17x + 7(0) = -1\newline7x=17x = -1
  2. Substitute in equation: Now, we solve for xx by dividing both sides of the equation by 77.7x7=17\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{-1}{7}x=17x = \frac{-1}{7}
