Hey there!

First, we see that it's already written in slope intercept, y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept, we just need to simplify the like terms on the right. We have:

y = 12x-5x-2
y = 7x - 2

Now that we have it in slope intercept form, whenever we have an x intercept, since it is crossing the x axis, there's no y value. We plug in 0 for y:

0 = 7x - 2
2 = 7x
2/7 = x

The x intercept is (2/7, 0)

Hope this helps!
