Express x in terms of y where 8*x+5*y=-12
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
8*x+5*y = -12
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
5*y + 8*x = -12
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$8 x = - 5 y - 12$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 8
x = -12 - 5*y / (8)
We get the answer: x = -3/2 - 5*y/8
3 5*re(y) 5*I*im(y)
x1 = - - - ------- - ---------
2 8 8
$$x_{1} = - \frac{5 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{8} - \frac{5 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{8} - \frac{3}{2}$$
x1 = -5*re(y)/8 - 5*i*im(y)/8 - 3/2
