Express x in terms of y where 8*x+12*y=15
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
8*x+12*y = 15
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
8*x + 12*y = 15
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$8 x = 15 - 12 y$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 8
x = 15 - 12*y / (8)
We get the answer: x = 15/8 - 3*y/2
15 3*re(y) 3*I*im(y)
x1 = -- - ------- - ---------
8 2 2
$$x_{1} = - \frac{3 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{2} - \frac{3 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{2} + \frac{15}{8}$$
x1 = -3*re(y)/2 - 3*i*im(y)/2 + 15/8
