see table

Work Step by Step

$\bf{\text{Solution Outline:}}$ Complete the table by substituting the given value of the variable in the given equation, $ x-y=8 .$ $\bf{\text{Solution Details:}}$ If $ x=2 ,$ then \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} x-y=8 \\\\ 2-y=8 \\\\ -y=8-2 \\\\ -y=6 \\\\ -1(-y)=-1(6) \\\\ y=-6 .\end{array} If $ y=-3 ,$ then \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} x-y=8 \\\\ x-(-3)=8 \\\\ x+3=8 \\\\ x=8-3 \\\\ x=5 .\end{array} If $ x=3 ,$ then \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} x-y=8 \\\\ 3-y=8 \\\\ -y=8-3 \\\\ -y=5 \\\\ -1(-y)=-1(5) \\\\ y=-5 .\end{array} If $ y=-2 ,$ then \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} x-y=8 \\\\ x-(-2)=8 \\\\ x+2=8 \\\\ x=8-2 \\\\ x=6 .\end{array}
