How is oceanic crust formed?

it is constantly formed at mid-ocean ridges, where tectonic plates are ripping apart from each other.

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.

i think that you are smart and you should fit for it out
