Express x in terms of y where 12*x-2*y=17
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
12*x-2*y = 17
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-2*y + 12*x = 17
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$12 x = 2 y + 17$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 12
x = 17 + 2*y / (12)
We get the answer: x = 17/12 + y/6
17 re(y) I*im(y)
x1 = -- + ----- + -------
12 6 6
$$x_{1} = \frac{\operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{6} + \frac{i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{6} + \frac{17}{12}$$
x1 = re(y)/6 + i*im(y)/6 + 17/12
