Express x in terms of y where 18*x+8*y=-3
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
18*x+8*y = -3
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
8*y + 18*x = -3
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$18 x = - 8 y - 3$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 18
x = -3 - 8*y / (18)
We get the answer: x = -1/6 - 4*y/9
1 4*re(y) 4*I*im(y)
x1 = - - - ------- - ---------
6 9 9
$$x_{1} = - \frac{4 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{9} - \frac{4 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{9} - \frac{1}{6}$$
x1 = -4*re(y)/9 - 4*i*im(y)/9 - 1/6
