1. **State the problem:** We are given three equations and asked to find the value of $x$ when $y=0$ (i.e., find the x-intercept) for each. --- 2. **Equation 1: $y = 4x - 8$** - To find the x-intercept, set $y=0$: $$0 = 4x - 8$$ - Add $8$ to both sides: $$8 = 4x$$ - Divide both sides by $4$: $$\frac{8}{\cancel{4}} = \frac{4x}{\cancel{4}} \implies 2 = x$$ - **Answer:** $x=2$ --- 3. **Equation 2: $3x + 2y = 12$** - To find the x-intercept, set $y=0$: $$3x + 2(0) = 12 \implies 3x = 12$$ - Divide both sides by $3$: $$\frac{3x}{\cancel{3}} = \frac{12}{\cancel{3}} \implies x = 4$$ - **Answer:** $x=4$ --- 4. **Equation 3: $y = -3x + 12$** - To find the x-intercept, set $y=0$: $$0 = -3x + 12$$ - Add $3x$ to both sides: $$3x = 12$$ - Divide both sides by $3$: $$\frac{3x}{\cancel{3}} = \frac{12}{\cancel{3}} \implies x = 4$$ - **Answer:** $x=4$ --- **Summary:** - For $y=4x-8$, $x=2$ - For $3x+2y=12$, $x=4$ - For $y=-3x+12$, $x=4$ All steps are corrected and consistent with solving for the x-intercept by setting $y=0$ and isolating $x$.
