Express x in terms of y where -17*x-13*y=-3
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-17*x-13*y = -3
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-17*x - 13*y = -3
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 17 x = 13 y - 3$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -17
x = -3 + 13*y / (-17)
We get the answer: x = 3/17 - 13*y/17
3 13*re(y) 13*I*im(y)
x1 = -- - -------- - ----------
17 17 17
$$x_{1} = - \frac{13 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{17} - \frac{13 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{17} + \frac{3}{17}$$
x1 = -13*re(y)/17 - 13*i*im(y)/17 + 3/17
