Question

Solve y = x + 6 for x.

x = y + 6
x = −y + 6
x = y − 6
x = −y − 6

Answer 1

x = y - 6 because all you have to do is move the 6 to the same side as y, which makes it negative

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is C) x = y − 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

$y = x + 6$

We need to solve the provided equation for x.

Subtract 6 from both the sides.

$y-6 = x + 6-6$

$y-6 = x$

$x=y-6$

Thus, the value of the equation for x is $x=y-6$.

Hence, the correct option is C) x = y − 6.
