Express x in terms of y where -16*x-13*y=-2
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-16*x-13*y = -2
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-16*x - 13*y = -2
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 16 x = 13 y - 2$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -16
x = -2 + 13*y / (-16)
We get the answer: x = 1/8 - 13*y/16
1 13*re(y) 13*I*im(y)
x1 = - - -------- - ----------
8 16 16
$$x_{1} = - \frac{13 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{16} - \frac{13 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{16} + \frac{1}{8}$$
x1 = -13*re(y)/16 - 13*i*im(y)/16 + 1/8
