Express x in terms of y where 3*x+17*y=-6
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
3*x+17*y = -6
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
3*x + 17*y = -6
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$3 x = - 17 y - 6$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 3
x = -6 - 17*y / (3)
We get the answer: x = -2 - 17*y/3
17*re(y) 17*I*im(y)
x1 = -2 - -------- - ----------
3 3
$$x_{1} = - \frac{17 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{3} - \frac{17 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{3} - 2$$
x1 = -17*re(y)/3 - 17*i*im(y)/3 - 2
