alleryIf 4x + i(3x - y) = 3 + i(-6), then x and y are:
Ax = -6, y = 3
Bx = 3, y = 6
Cx = 4/3, y = -6
Dx = 3/4, y = 33/4
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. x = 3/4, y = 33/4
Equate real parts: 4x = 3
→ x = 3/4. Equate imaginary parts: 3x - y = -6
We have → 9/4 - y = -6 → y.
That is → 9/4 - y = 9/4 + 6.
So → 9/4 - y = 33/4.
