Express x in terms of y where 20*x-9*y=-8
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
20*x-9*y = -8
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-9*y + 20*x = -8
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$20 x = 9 y - 8$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 20
x = -8 + 9*y / (20)
We get the answer: x = -2/5 + 9*y/20
2 9*re(y) 9*I*im(y)
x1 = - - + ------- + ---------
5 20 20
$$x_{1} = \frac{9 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{20} + \frac{9 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{20} - \frac{2}{5}$$
x1 = 9*re(y)/20 + 9*i*im(y)/20 - 2/5
