Express x in terms of y where -4*x-18*y=-14
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-4*x-18*y = -14
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-18*y - 4*x = -14
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 4 x = 18 y - 14$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -4
x = -14 + 18*y / (-4)
We get the answer: x = 7/2 - 9*y/2
7 9*re(y) 9*I*im(y)
x1 = - - ------- - ---------
2 2 2
$$x_{1} = - \frac{9 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{2} - \frac{9 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{2} + \frac{7}{2}$$
x1 = -9*re(y)/2 - 9*i*im(y)/2 + 7/2
