Express x in terms of y where -5*x-2*y=-14
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-5*x-2*y = -14
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-5*x - 2*y = -14
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 5 x = 2 y - 14$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -5
x = -14 + 2*y / (-5)
We get the answer: x = 14/5 - 2*y/5
14 2*re(y) 2*I*im(y)
x1 = -- - ------- - ---------
5 5 5
$$x_{1} = - \frac{2 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{5} - \frac{2 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{5} + \frac{14}{5}$$
x1 = -2*re(y)/5 - 2*i*im(y)/5 + 14/5
