Find the zero of f(x) = -3/4x + 6

Question

This is stumping me as I can't turn an x into a zero 

Answer 1

A "zero" is the value of x that makes f(x) = 0. It might be 0 yet it need not be!

0 = -3x/4 + 6

-6 = -3x/4             subtract 6 form both sides

-24 = -3x              multiply both sides by 4

8 = x                   divide both sides by -3

 

The zero is 8, e.g., (8, 0) is a solution.
