Question

If x + y = 6 and x = y + 2, then find the numerical value of y.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 4 and y = 2

4 + 2 = 6

2 + 2 = 4

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The numerical value of "y" will be "2".

Given expressions are:

→ $x+y=6$ ...(equation 1)

→ $x=y+2$

or,

→ $x-y=2$ ...(equation 2)

By solving the above two equations, we get

→ $2x=8$

    $x = \frac{8}{2}$

    $x=4$

By substituting the value of "x" in equation 1, we get

→ $4+y = 6$

         $y = 6-4$

         $y = 2$  

Thus the above is the correct value.
