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