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