Answer: x + 6 = y OR y = x + 6 (same equation in different format)

Step-by-step explanation: If x represents Kaylee’s age, and Cayden is 6 years older, then you must always add 6 to Kaylee’s age in order to find Cayden’s age (y).

Answer:

x + 6 = y or y - 6 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

If you know that Cayden is 6 years older than Kaylee, then x (Kaylee's age) + 6 years = y (Cayden's age). You don't know the ages of them but you still know how much older Cayden is than Kaylee.

It can also be y - 6 = x because it shows that if you subtract 6 years from Cayden's age, you get Kaylee's age.

I don't know the options to this question but I hope this helps you :)
