See below:

We can pick any values to create a table. For instance, we could construct a table like the following:

$x ∣ y$ $x|y$

$1 ∣ | 1 + 5 | = 6$ $1| |1+5|= 6$

$3 ∣ | 3 + 5 | = 8$ $3| |3+5|= 8$

$5 ∣ | 5 + 5 | = 10$ $5| |5+5|= 10$

$6 ∣ | 6 + 5 | = 11$ $6| |6+5|= 11$

$7 ∣ | 7 + 5 | = 12$ $7| |7+5|= 12$

Notice, I just picked arbitrary values for $x$ $x$ . We could have picked a million, trillion, any real number we want.

Hope this helps!
