Solve the following equation:

[tex]\[ x + y = 8 \][/tex]

You can find more solutions by replacing [tex]\( x \)[/tex] with other values and then solving for [tex]\( y \)[/tex]. For example, let [tex]\( x = 6 \)[/tex]. What is [tex]\( y \)[/tex]?

Enter the correct answer.



Answer :

Certainly! Let's solve this step-by-step.

Given the equation:
[tex]\[ x + y = 8 \][/tex]

We are asked to find the value of [tex]\(y\)[/tex] when [tex]\(x = 6\)[/tex].

1. Start with the original equation:
[tex]\[ x + y = 8 \][/tex]

2. Substitute [tex]\(x = 6\)[/tex] into the equation:
[tex]\[ 6 + y = 8 \][/tex]

3. To find [tex]\(y\)[/tex], isolate it by subtracting 6 from both sides:
[tex]\[ y = 8 - 6 \][/tex]

4. Calculate the right-hand side:
[tex]\[ y = 2 \][/tex]

Therefore, when [tex]\(x = 6\)[/tex], [tex]\(y\)[/tex] equals [tex]\(2\)[/tex].
