Express x in terms of y where -4*x-8*y=-20
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-4*x-8*y = -20
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-8*y - 4*x = -20
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 4 x = 8 y - 20$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -4
x = -20 + 8*y / (-4)
We get the answer: x = 5 - 2*y
x1 = 5 - 2*re(y) - 2*I*im(y)
$$x_{1} = - 2 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)} - 2 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)} + 5$$
x1 = -2*re(y) - 2*i*im(y) + 5
