How can i solve for x & y

-14 - 3i = 2 x + yi

Solving for x

Since x is on the right hand side of the equation switch the sides so it is on the left hand side of the equation.

2x+yi=-14-3i

Since yi does not contain the variable to solve for move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting yi from both sides.

2x=-yi-14-3i

Divide each term in the equation by 2.

x = - yi / 2 - 7 - 3i / 2

Solving for y

Since y is on the right hand side of the equation switch the sides so it is on the left hand side of the equation.

2x+yi=-14-3i

Since 2x does not contain the variable to solve for move it to the right hand side of the equation by subtracting 2x from both sides.

yi=-2x-14-3i

Divide each term in the equation by i.

y=2xi+14i-3

x=-yi/2-7-3i/2

y=2xi+14i-3
