(03.03 mc) find the ordered pairs for the x- and y-intercepts of the equation 3x − 2y = 18 and select the appropriate option below. (5 points) the x-intercept is (0, 6); the y-intercept is (−9, 0). the x-intercept is (6, 0); the y-intercept is (0, −9). the x-intercept is (3, 0); the y-intercept is (0, −2). the x-intercept is (0, 3); the y-intercept is (−2, 0).

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
