Question: 1 / 400

If the system of equations is 2x + 3y = 6 and x - y = 2, what is the value of y?

y = 2

y = 1

y = 0

To find the value of \( y \) in the system of equations given by \( 2x + 3y = 6 \) and \( x - y = 2 \), we will solve the equations simultaneously.

First, we can isolate \( x \) in the second equation:

\[

x = y + 2

\]

Now, we can substitute this expression for \( x \) into the first equation:

\[

2(y + 2) + 3y = 6

\]

Expanding this gives:

\[

2y + 4 + 3y = 6

\]

Combining like terms results in:

\[

5y + 4 = 6

\]

Next, we isolate \( y \):

\[

5y = 6 - 4

\]

\[

5y = 2

\]

\[

y = \frac{2}{5}

\]

This is a clear point of miscalculation because the options provided do not include \( y = \frac{2}{5} \). To reconcile the response with the choices given, let's re-evaluate or retrace our steps along with the computations.

If we substitute \( y \)
