This form needed. Y = mX + c
2X + 8Y = 40
8Y = - 2X + 40
Y = - 1/4 + 5
-----------------------zero out the Y
- 1/4X + 5 = 0
- 1/4X = - 5
X = 20
-------------------your X intercept

Add the two equations you get 5y = 60 so y = 12 and x = 2
To solve for x, set up the equation: 2x +2x = 40 (then simplify) 4x = 40 (then divide both sides of the equation by 4) x = 10 (this is the answer)
y=16 x= -4
2x+9 = 49-3x 2x+3x = 49-9 5x = 40 x = 8
7. 8x-40=2x+2 4x-20=1x+1 3x-21=0 3x=21 therefore x=7
