For the equation, y=x−6

Question

, what value for x and y can be substituted to make a true number sentence? Show your work.

Answer 1

We can substitute any values for x and y that would make the equation y = x - 6 true. Let's try substituting x = 5:

y = x - 6
y = 5 - 6
y = -1

So, when x = 5, y = -1, the equation y = x - 6 is true.
