Express x in terms of y where -16*x-5*y=-14
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-16*x-5*y = -14
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-16*x - 5*y = -14
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 16 x = 5 y - 14$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -16
x = -14 + 5*y / (-16)
We get the answer: x = 7/8 - 5*y/16
7 5*re(y) 5*I*im(y)
x1 = - - ------- - ---------
8 16 16
$$x_{1} = - \frac{5 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{16} - \frac{5 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{16} + \frac{7}{8}$$
x1 = -5*re(y)/16 - 5*i*im(y)/16 + 7/8
