5(x + 8) - 2x = 7(x + 10)

-15/2

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x + 8) - 2x = 7(x + 10)

=> 5x + 40 - 2x = 7x + 70

=> 3x + 40 = 7x + 70

=> 3x - 7x = 30

=> -4x = 30

=> x = -30/4

=> x = -15/2

an

y = 6x -3y -12

y +3y +12 = 6x

=> . x = { 2y / 3 +2 } this is equation of line in terms of x

=> . if line meets the x-axis the co-ordinates of meeting point would be ( x , 0 )

=> . x = 2 ( 0 ) / 3 + 2

=> . x = 2

so, the point is ( 2 , 0 )
