Answer:

x = 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept looks like (x, 0); the coordinate 0 indicates that the point lies on the x-axis.  If we start with 4/5x + 1/3 y= 1 and let y = 0, we will get an equation for the x-intercept:

(4/5)x + (1/3)(0) =1

Then 4/5x = 1, and (5/4)(4/5)x = (1)(4/5).

Thus, x = 4/5, and the x-intercept is (4/5, 0).
