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