Express x in terms of y where 9*x+17*y=13
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
9*x+17*y = 13
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
9*x + 17*y = 13
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$9 x = 13 - 17 y$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 9
x = 13 - 17*y / (9)
We get the answer: x = 13/9 - 17*y/9
13 17*re(y) 17*I*im(y)
x1 = -- - -------- - ----------
9 9 9
$$x_{1} = - \frac{17 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{9} - \frac{17 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{9} + \frac{13}{9}$$
x1 = -17*re(y)/9 - 17*i*im(y)/9 + 13/9
