Math Problem Statement

Solve y = x + 6 for x.

Solution

To solve for xx in the equation y=x+6y = x + 6:

  1. Start with the given equation: y=x+6y = x + 6

  2. Subtract 6 from both sides to isolate xx: x=y6x = y - 6

Thus, the solution is: x=y6x = y - 6

Here are some related questions:

  1. If y=10y = 10, what is the value of xx?
  2. How would you graph the equation y=x+6y = x + 6?
  3. What is the slope of the equation y=x+6y = x + 6?
  4. How would the equation change if the constant was different, say y=x+4y = x + 4?
  5. Can you express x=y6x = y - 6 in terms of other variables?

Tip: Always check your solution by substituting it back into the original equation.
