Express x in terms of y where 18*x-20*y=-2
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
18*x-20*y = -2
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-20*y + 18*x = -2
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$18 x = 20 y - 2$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 18
x = -2 + 20*y / (18)
We get the answer: x = -1/9 + 10*y/9
1 10*re(y) 10*I*im(y)
x1 = - - + -------- + ----------
9 9 9
$$x_{1} = \frac{10 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{9} + \frac{10 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{9} - \frac{1}{9}$$
x1 = 10*re(y)/9 + 10*i*im(y)/9 - 1/9
