Express x in terms of y where 8*x-9*y=-1
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
8*x-9*y = -1
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-9*y + 8*x = -1
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$8 x = 9 y - 1$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 8
x = -1 + 9*y / (8)
We get the answer: x = -1/8 + 9*y/8
1 9*re(y) 9*I*im(y)
x1 = - - + ------- + ---------
8 8 8
$$x_{1} = \frac{9 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{8} + \frac{9 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{8} - \frac{1}{8}$$
x1 = 9*re(y)/8 + 9*i*im(y)/8 - 1/8
