To represent the relationship between the ages of Darius and Ty, we know that Darius is 6 years younger than Ty. Therefore, if we let \( x \) be Darius' age and \( y \) be Ty's age, we can express this relationship with the equation:
\[ y = x + 6 \]
or equivalently,
\[ x = y - 6 \]
Now we can fill in the table by expressing Ty's age in terms of Darius' age based on the equation \( y = x + 6 \).
### Table:
| Darius' Age (x) | Ty's Age (y) |
|------------------|--------------------|
| 0 | \( 0 + 6 = 6 \) |
| 6 | \( 6 + 6 = 12 \) |
| 10 | \( 10 + 6 = 16 \) |
| 12 | \( 12 + 6 = 18 \) |
### Equation:
The equation that represents the relationship between their ages is:
\[ y = x + 6 \]
where \( y \) is Ty's age and \( x \) is Darius' age.
\[ y = x + 6 \]
or equivalently,
\[ x = y - 6 \]
Now we can fill in the table by expressing Ty's age in terms of Darius' age based on the equation \( y = x + 6 \).
### Table:
| Darius' Age (x) | Ty's Age (y) |
|------------------|--------------------|
| 0 | \( 0 + 6 = 6 \) |
| 6 | \( 6 + 6 = 12 \) |
| 10 | \( 10 + 6 = 16 \) |
| 12 | \( 12 + 6 = 18 \) |
### Equation:
The equation that represents the relationship between their ages is:
\[ y = x + 6 \]
where \( y \) is Ty's age and \( x \) is Darius' age.
