\left(-5+2i\right)x+3iy=-5-4i
Use the distributive property to multiply 2i-5 by x.
\left(-5+2i\right)x=-5-4i-3iy
Subtract 3iy from both sides.
\frac{\left(-5+2i\right)x}{-5+2i}=\frac{-5-4i-3iy}{-5+2i}
Divide both sides by -5+2i.
x=\frac{-5-4i-3iy}{-5+2i}
Dividing by -5+2i undoes the multiplication by -5+2i.
x=\left(-\frac{6}{29}+\frac{15}{29}i\right)y+\left(\frac{17}{29}+\frac{30}{29}i\right)
Divide -5-4i-3iy by -5+2i.
\left(-5+2i\right)x+3iy=-5-4i
Use the distributive property to multiply 2i-5 by x.
3iy=-5-4i-\left(-5+2i\right)x
Subtract \left(-5+2i\right)x from both sides.
3iy=-5-4i+\left(5-2i\right)x
Multiply -1 and -5+2i to get 5-2i.
3iy=\left(5-2i\right)x+\left(-5-4i\right)
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{3iy}{3i}=\frac{\left(5-2i\right)x+\left(-5-4i\right)}{3i}
Divide both sides by 3i.
y=\frac{\left(5-2i\right)x+\left(-5-4i\right)}{3i}
Dividing by 3i undoes the multiplication by 3i.
y=\left(-\frac{2}{3}-\frac{5}{3}i\right)x+\left(-\frac{4}{3}+\frac{5}{3}i\right)
Divide -5-4i+\left(5-2i\right)x by 3i.
