Express x in terms of y where -7*x-2*y=16
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-7*x-2*y = 16
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-7*x - 2*y = 16
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 7 x = 2 y + 16$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -7
x = 16 + 2*y / (-7)
We get the answer: x = -16/7 - 2*y/7
16 2*re(y) 2*I*im(y)
x1 = - -- - ------- - ---------
7 7 7
$$x_{1} = - \frac{2 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{7} - \frac{2 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{7} - \frac{16}{7}$$
x1 = -2*re(y)/7 - 2*i*im(y)/7 - 16/7
