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