Express x in terms of y where -20*x-7*y=-17
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-20*x-7*y = -17
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-20*x - 7*y = -17
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 20 x = 7 y - 17$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -20
x = -17 + 7*y / (-20)
We get the answer: x = 17/20 - 7*y/20
17 7*re(y) 7*I*im(y)
x1 = -- - ------- - ---------
20 20 20
$$x_{1} = - \frac{7 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{20} - \frac{7 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{20} + \frac{17}{20}$$
x1 = -7*re(y)/20 - 7*i*im(y)/20 + 17/20
