If an equation of a line is y=2x+4 and it crosses the x axis at point R, what is the value of x?

Since we know that the line crosses the x axis, we can assume that the value of Y at this point is 0. So we must substitute y = 0 into the equation y = 2x + 40 = 2x + 4we now have to isolate x on its own ...
