Express x in terms of y where 15*x+3*y=-8
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
15*x+3*y = -8
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
3*y + 15*x = -8
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$15 x = - 3 y - 8$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 15
x = -8 - 3*y / (15)
We get the answer: x = -8/15 - y/5
8 re(y) I*im(y)
x1 = - -- - ----- - -------
15 5 5
$$x_{1} = - \frac{\operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{5} - \frac{i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{5} - \frac{8}{15}$$
x1 = -re(y)/5 - i*im(y)/5 - 8/15
