find the x-intercept: 2x+3y=6

x-intercept is when y=0..
2x+3y=6
3(0)= 6-2x
0= 6-2x
2x=6
x=3
do you understand it now?
hope I helped!

isolate the x term by subtracting 3y from both sides
2x +3y -3y=6 - 3y
2x = 6 - 3y get rid of y by making y = 0
2x = 6
x = 3

Were just learning aout this out school...
2x-3y-3y=6-3y subtact to get 2y alone. wat u do 2 1 side u do da other
2x/2=6/2-3/2y divide to get the y alone.
x=3-3(over)2y now rearrange your equation and get...
x=-3(over)2y+3 the number that is alone is your x intercept.
x intercept=+3

x inetsept means y is zero and vice versa
so 2x +3*0=6
2x=6
x=3
