Express x in terms of y where -17*x+2*y=-4
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-17*x+2*y = -4
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-17*x + 2*y = -4
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 17 x = - 2 y - 4$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -17
x = -4 - 2*y / (-17)
We get the answer: x = 4/17 + 2*y/17
4 2*re(y) 2*I*im(y)
x1 = -- + ------- + ---------
17 17 17
$$x_{1} = \frac{2 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{17} + \frac{2 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{17} + \frac{4}{17}$$
x1 = 2*re(y)/17 + 2*i*im(y)/17 + 4/17
