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].
