Express x in terms of y where -5*x-9*y=-18
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-5*x-9*y = -18
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-9*y - 5*x = -18
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 5 x = 9 y - 18$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -5
x = -18 + 9*y / (-5)
We get the answer: x = 18/5 - 9*y/5
18 9*re(y) 9*I*im(y)
x1 = -- - ------- - ---------
5 5 5
$$x_{1} = - \frac{9 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{5} - \frac{9 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{5} + \frac{18}{5}$$
x1 = -9*re(y)/5 - 9*i*im(y)/5 + 18/5
