Express x in terms of y where 9*x+8*y=-4
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
9*x+8*y = -4
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
8*y + 9*x = -4
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$9 x = - 8 y - 4$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 9
x = -4 - 8*y / (9)
We get the answer: x = -4/9 - 8*y/9
4 8*re(y) 8*I*im(y)
x1 = - - - ------- - ---------
9 9 9
$$x_{1} = - \frac{8 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{9} - \frac{8 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{9} - \frac{4}{9}$$
x1 = -8*re(y)/9 - 8*i*im(y)/9 - 4/9
