For the equation, y = x - 6 what value for x and y can be substituted to make a true number sentence? Show your work. Note: There can be several answers here. (2 points) B I E \ x =; \ x = 1; \ y = b; ( y = 5
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.
To find values for x and y that make the equation true, we need to substitute values into the equation and solve for y.
Let's consider the given options:
Option B: x =; (blank) - Since there is no value provided for x in this option, we cannot determine the corresponding value for y.
Option I: x = 1; - If we substitute x = 1 into the equation y = x - 6, we get:
y = 1 - 6
y = -5
Option E: x = 5; - If we substitute x = 5 into the equation y = x - 6, we get:
y = 5 - 6
y = -1
So, for the given options, we have:
Option I: x = 1; y = -5
Option E: x = 5; y = -1
Therefore, both Option I (x = 1, y = -5) and Option E (x = 5, y = -1) can be substituted into the equation to make a true number sentence.
