Express x in terms of y where -5*x-20*y=-3
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-5*x-20*y = -3
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-20*y - 5*x = -3
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 5 x = 20 y - 3$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -5
x = -3 + 20*y / (-5)
We get the answer: x = 3/5 - 4*y
x1 = 3/5 - 4*re(y) - 4*I*im(y)
$$x_{1} = - 4 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)} - 4 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)} + \frac{3}{5}$$
x1 = -4*re(y) - 4*i*im(y) + 3/5
