Express x in terms of y where -1*x-17*y=10
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-1*x-17*y = 10
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-x - 17*y = 10
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- x = 17 y + 10$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -1
x = 10 + 17*y / (-1)
We get the answer: x = -10 - 17*y
x1 = -10 - 17*re(y) - 17*I*im(y)
$$x_{1} = - 17 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)} - 17 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)} - 10$$
x1 = -17*re(y) - 17*i*im(y) - 10
