Express x in terms of y where 17*x+2*y=-3
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
17*x+2*y = -3
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
2*y + 17*x = -3
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$17 x = - 2 y - 3$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 17
x = -3 - 2*y / (17)
We get the answer: x = -3/17 - 2*y/17
3 2*re(y) 2*I*im(y)
x1 = - -- - ------- - ---------
17 17 17
$$x_{1} = - \frac{2 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{17} - \frac{2 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{17} - \frac{3}{17}$$
x1 = -2*re(y)/17 - 2*i*im(y)/17 - 3/17
