If (x=5-y) and (2x+y=8), what will be the value of (y)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(y=2\)

Given \(x=5-y\), substitute it into \(2x+y=8\): \(2(5-y)+y=8\). This gives \(10-2y+y=8\), or \(10-y=8\). Hence, \(y=2\). If \(y=3\), then \(x=2\) and \(2x+y=7\), so it does not satisfy the given equation. Exam tip: while expanding after substitution, write the negative term \(-2y\) carefully.
