Express x in terms of y where 12*x+2*y=16
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
12*x+2*y = 16
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
2*y + 12*x = 16
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$12 x = 16 - 2 y$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 12
x = 16 - 2*y / (12)
We get the answer: x = 4/3 - y/6
4 re(y) I*im(y)
x1 = - - ----- - -------
3 6 6
$$x_{1} = - \frac{\operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{6} - \frac{i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{6} + \frac{4}{3}$$
x1 = -re(y)/6 - i*im(y)/6 + 4/3
