Express x in terms of y where -16*x-9*y=-5
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-16*x-9*y = -5
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-16*x - 9*y = -5
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 16 x = 9 y - 5$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -16
x = -5 + 9*y / (-16)
We get the answer: x = 5/16 - 9*y/16
5 9*re(y) 9*I*im(y)
x1 = -- - ------- - ---------
16 16 16
$$x_{1} = - \frac{9 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{16} - \frac{9 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{16} + \frac{5}{16}$$
x1 = -9*re(y)/16 - 9*i*im(y)/16 + 5/16
