Express x in terms of y where -17*x-12*y=-9
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-17*x-12*y = -9
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-17*x - 12*y = -9
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 17 x = 12 y - 9$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -17
x = -9 + 12*y / (-17)
We get the answer: x = 9/17 - 12*y/17
9 12*re(y) 12*I*im(y)
x1 = -- - -------- - ----------
17 17 17
$$x_{1} = - \frac{12 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{17} - \frac{12 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{17} + \frac{9}{17}$$
x1 = -12*re(y)/17 - 12*i*im(y)/17 + 9/17
