Math Problem Statement

Copy and complete the table below for the graph of x + y = 6. What values should replace A and B?

Solution

To find the values of AA, BB, and CC in the table, we need to use the equation given for the graph:

x+y=6x + y = 6

We can solve for yy in terms of xx by rearranging the equation:

y=6xy = 6 - x

Now we substitute each given xx-value into this equation to find the corresponding yy-values.

1. Find AA when x=2x = -2:

y=6(2)=6+2=8y = 6 - (-2) = 6 + 2 = 8 So, A=8A = 8.

2. Check the value of BB when x=0x = 0:

y=60=6y = 6 - 0 = 6 So, B=6B = 6.

3. Find CC when x=2x = 2:

y=62=4y = 6 - 2 = 4 So, C=4C = 4.

Completed Table:

xx-2-1012
yy87654

The values that should replace AA, BB, and CC are:

  • A=8A = 8
  • B=6B = 6
  • C=4C = 4

Would you like more details on any of the steps?
