the equation 5x+2y=20 represents the cost for a family to attend a play where x is the number of adults and y is the number of children. find the intercepts and interpret the meaning of each one

x-intercept: 4 This means that only 4 adults can come under the budjet of $20

y-intercept: 10 This means that only 10 children can come under the budjet of $20

Step-by-step explanation:

for y:

5 (0) + 2y = 20

2y = 20

2y/2 = 20/2

y = 10

for x:

5x + 2 (0) = 20

5x = 20

5x/5 = 20/5

x = 4

5x=20

x=20/5

x=4 (adults)

2y=20

y=20/2

y=10 (children)
