Explanation:

Step1: Find x-intercept, set $y=0$

Substitute $y=0$ into $5x + 2y = 20$:
$5x + 2(0) = 20$
$5x = 20$

Step2: Solve for $x$

$x = \frac{20}{5} = 4$

Step3: Find y-intercept, set $x=0$

Substitute $x=0$ into $5x + 2y = 20$:
$5(0) + 2y = 20$
$2y = 20$

Step4: Solve for $y$

$y = \frac{20}{2} = 10$

Answer:

x-intercept: $4$
y-intercept: $10$
