Soda is sold 6 cans to a pack, juice is sold 8 bottles to a pack. Rhonda needs 96 drinks for her party. The equation for this is 6x + 8y =96. Find and interpret the x and y intercepts.
The x intercept of 16 means Rhonda could buy 16 packs of soda and 0 packs of juice. The y intercept of 12 means she could buy 12 packs of juice and 0 packs of soda.

Spiders have 8 legs and centipedes have 100 legs. A group of these two animals has a total of 1600 legs. The equation for this is 8x + 100y = 1600. Find and interpret the x and y intercepts.
The x intercept means there could be 200 spiders and 0 centipedes. The y intercept means there could be 16 centipedes and 0 spiders.
