In a Cartesian system or a coordinate system, the abscissa is the value of the horizontal (x) value and the ordinate is the value of the vertical (y) value.

So, The sum of the abscissa and the ordinate = x + y when written as an algebraic expression.

Since given that The sum of the abscissa and the ordinate is six

So, the correct equation is x + y = 6

Complete the solution of the equation. find the value of y when equals 2. -3x-8y=10

Afina-wow [57]

The value of y can be calculated by translating the equation such that we solve y in terms of x.

-3x - 8y = 10

-8y = 10 + 3x

y = (10 + 3x) / -8

Then, we substitute 2 to the x in the equation.

y = (10 + 3(2)) / - 8 = 16/-8

y = -2

Thus, the value of y in the equation is -2.
