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

The correct option is C) x = y − 6.

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.
