Y is the twenty-fifth letter in the alphabet (25).
In algebra, any letter represents anything. So if 13y = 26 then y is 2. 13 y is 13 x ? <<< it could be anything.

The spelling rule is: when the word has a vowel (a, e, i, o, u) before the letter βyβ, you add the letter βsβ and when the word has a consonant (b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, z) before the letter βyβ, you remove the βyβ and replace it with βiesβ.
Usually the y is dropped but there are instances when you do not drop the y such as when there is a vowel before the y.See the samples below:Osprey OspreysMarry marriesCarry carriedFerry FerriesSunny never drops the y because it is a description: sunny days, sunny personality, sunny yellow colorsConvoy Convoysalloy alloys not alloies
