Question

What equations equal -6?

Answer 1

For the equation, y=x−6
, what value for x and y can be substituted to make a true number sentence? Show your work.

Answer 2

There are infinite equations that can equal -6. Some examples include:
- x + 6 = 0
- 3x - 9 = -15
- 2(x + 3) = -12

Answer 3

To find the values for x and y that satisfy the equation y = x - 6, we can choose any value for x and then solve for y.

Let's choose x = 3 as an example:

Substituting x = 3 into the equation, we have:
y = 3 - 6
y = -3

So, when x = 3, y = -3 is a true number sentence.

Similarly, we could choose any other value for x and find the corresponding value for y.
