Express x in terms of y where -17*x-11*y=-1
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-17*x-11*y = -1
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-17*x - 11*y = -1
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 17 x = 11 y - 1$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -17
x = -1 + 11*y / (-17)
We get the answer: x = 1/17 - 11*y/17
1 11*re(y) 11*I*im(y)
x1 = -- - -------- - ----------
17 17 17
$$x_{1} = - \frac{11 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{17} - \frac{11 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{17} + \frac{1}{17}$$
x1 = -11*re(y)/17 - 11*i*im(y)/17 + 1/17
