Express x in terms of y where 16*x-17*y=-9
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
16*x-17*y = -9
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-17*y + 16*x = -9
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$16 x = 17 y - 9$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 16
x = -9 + 17*y / (16)
We get the answer: x = -9/16 + 17*y/16
9 17*re(y) 17*I*im(y)
x1 = - -- + -------- + ----------
16 16 16
$$x_{1} = \frac{17 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{16} + \frac{17 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{16} - \frac{9}{16}$$
x1 = 17*re(y)/16 + 17*i*im(y)/16 - 9/16
