Explanation:

A thin rubber sheet is used because it stretches more easily compared to a thick rubber sheet and it makes pulling and pushing easier.

try using substitution:

x + y - 6 = x - y. (i'm not giving you the exact answer). since 0 = x - y, then sub 0 in the equation with x - y. combine your like terms, and then use inverse operations, and you'll have your answer.
