In the equation x + y = 5, the value for x is a whole number greater than 2 but less than 6. determine the possible solutions for ry

First, determine the value of x

x is greater than 2 and less than 6, then the value of x would be

x = 3,4,5

Second, determine the value of y from each value of x

For x = 3, then the value of y will be

x + y = 5

3 + y = 5

y = 5 - 3

y = 2

For x = 4, then the value of y will be

x + y = 5

4 + y = 5

y = 5 - 4

y = 1

For x = 5, then the value of y will be

x + y = 5

5 + y = 5

y = 5 - 5

y = 0

The possible solution for y is 2,1,0
