The positive integers x and y leave remainders of 2 and 3, respectively, when divided by 6. x > y. What is the remainder when x– y is divided by 6?	Choose the correct answer.
A) 4  B) 2  C) 1  D) 5  E) 3
Let's test out some values of p and q that satisfy the given information.   x leaves are remainder of 2 when divided by 6   So, x COUL5 equal 8   y leaves are remainder of 3 when divided by 6   So, y COUL5 equal 3   What is the remainder when x – y is divided by 6?   So, x - y = 8 - 3=
