To create the equation that shows the total number of pies Robert can bake (y) based on the number of cups of sugar he buys (x), we can start with the 6 pies he can already bake and then add the number of additional pies he can bake with each cup of sugar he buys.
Since each additional cup of sugar allows him to bake 1 more pie, for every cup of sugar (x) he buys, he can bake one additional pie.
The equation can be written as:
\[ y = 6 + x \]
Here, \(y\) represents the total number of pies Robert can bake, and \(x\) represents the number of cups of sugar he buys.
