To solve the equation $x - y = 2$, we can express one variable in terms of the other. For example, solving for $x$ in terms of $y$, we get:

$x = y + 2$

This equation shows that $x$ is always 2 units more than $y$. If more information is provided, such as another equation, we could solve for the exact values of $x$ and $y$.

Do you have any additional information or another equation for this system?
