Yes, a value can be substituted for x to make the equation x - 5 = 37 a true number sentence. To find this value, we need to isolate x on one side. Adding 5 to both sides of the equation, we get x = 42.
Therefore, substituting x with 42, the equation becomes 42 - 5 = 37, which is indeed true.
There can only be one value that can be substituted for x to make the equation true. This is because the equation is a linear equation in one variable. Linear equations have, at most, one solution.
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?
