Bell Ringer Answer
Bell Ringer
1)State the x‐ and y‐intercepts of the equaon and
1) x – intercept: 12
then use the intercepts to graph the equaon:
y – intercept: 8
2x + 3y = 24

Sec. 3.5 HW Answers Pg. 213
1) x‐int: 3.5 y‐int: 7
2) x‐int: ‐4 y‐int: 3
3) x‐int: 1.25 y‐int: 1.66
4) The x‐int. of 120 means the store could buy 120 jeans and no
khakis.
The y‐int. of 90 means the store could buy 90 khakis and no
jeans.

5) The x‐int. of 375 means the zoo could have 375 4‐legged animals
and no 2‐legged animals. The y‐int. of 750 means the zoo could
have 750 2‐legged animals and no 4‐legged animals.
7) Aer 3x = 12, Carmen didn’t divide both sides by 3 to get the x‐
int. of 4.
