Express x in terms of y where 9*x+17*y=-3
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
9*x+17*y = -3
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
9*x + 17*y = -3
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$9 x = - 17 y - 3$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 9
x = -3 - 17*y / (9)
We get the answer: x = -1/3 - 17*y/9
1 17*re(y) 17*I*im(y)
x1 = - - - -------- - ----------
3 9 9
$$x_{1} = - \frac{17 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{9} - \frac{17 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{9} - \frac{1}{3}$$
x1 = -17*re(y)/9 - 17*i*im(y)/9 - 1/3
