For the equation, x−5=37, can a value be substituted for x to make that a true number sentence? How many values could be substituted for x and have a true number sentence? Explain your answer.(3 points)

Answer 1

Yes, a value can be substituted for x to make the equation x-5=37 a true number sentence.

To find the possible values for x, we can solve the equation for x:

x - 5 = 37

By adding 5 to both sides of the equation, we get:

x = 42

Therefore, the only value that can be substituted for x to make the equation true is 42. Therefore, there is only one value that can be substituted for x to make the equation a true number sentence.
