1 answer

To find a value for x and y that can be substituted into the equation y = x - 6 to make a true number sentence, we can choose any value for x and find the corresponding value for y.

Let's choose x = 1:
y = x - 6
y = 1 - 6
y = -5

Therefore, if we substitute x = 1 and y = -5 into the equation y = x - 6, we get a true number sentence.

Another possible solution is x = 7:
y = x - 6
y = 7 - 6
y = 1

Substituting x = 7 and y = 1 gives us another true number sentence.

There can be several other values for x and y that can make the equation true, but these are two possible solutions.
