Problem

Find the $\mathrm{x}$-intercept. \[ \begin{array}{c} y=\frac{2 x-10}{x+5} \\ ([?], 0) \end{array} \]

Solution

Step 1 :Set y to zero: \(0 = \frac{2x - 10}{x + 5}\)

Step 2 :Cross multiply: \(0(x + 5) = 2x - 10\)

Step 3 :Expand the equation: \(0 = 2x - 10\)

Step 4 :Add 10 to both sides: \(10 = 2x\)

Step 5 :Divide both sides by 2: \(5 = x\)

Step 6 :The x-intercept is \(\boxed{5}\)
