Given the function:

y = -3x + 9

Determine all the real zeroes.

Solution:

In order to determine all the real zeros, we simply need to equate y to 0, then solve for x.

y = -3x + 9

-3x + 9 = 0

Transpose -3x on the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.

3x = 9

divide both sides by 3 in order to cancel out 3x.

3x/3 = 9/3

x = 3

Final answer:

x = 3
