Answer 1

Yes, a value can be substituted for x to make the equation true.

To find the value of x, we can isolate it by performing the inverse operation of subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation.

x - 5 + 5 = 37 + 5 (Adding 5 to both sides)
x = 42

So, a value of 42 can be substituted for x to make the equation x - 5 = 37 true.

There is only one value, 42, that can be substituted for x to make the equation true. This is because there is only one unique solution to the equation when simplified.
