See below:

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

$x|y$

$1| |1+5|= 6$

$3| |3+5|= 8$

$5| |5+5|= 10$

$6| |6+5|= 11$

$7| |7+5|= 12$

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

Hope this helps!
