Question

find x if 2y+x=5

Answer 1

to solve this for x you need to get x alone on one side of the question. Rember, if you do something to one side of the question you must also to it to the other side.

Subtract 2y from both sides

2y+x=5

-2y     -2y

x=5-2y

Answer 2

To find the x-intercept or the x you have to plug-in 0 for the y-intercept or the y

2y+x=5

2(0)+x=5

0+x=5

x=5
