Express x in terms of y where 8*x-16*y=14
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
8*x-16*y = 14
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-16*y + 8*x = 14
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$8 x = 16 y + 14$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 8
x = 14 + 16*y / (8)
We get the answer: x = 7/4 + 2*y
x1 = 7/4 + 2*re(y) + 2*I*im(y)
$$x_{1} = 2 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)} + 2 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)} + \frac{7}{4}$$
x1 = 2*re(y) + 2*i*im(y) + 7/4
