The solution

You have entered [src]
8*x - 11*y = -20
$$8 x - 11 y = -20$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
8*x-11*y = -20

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-11*y + 8*x = -20

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$8 x = 11 y - 20$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 8
x = -20 + 11*y / (8)

We get the answer: x = -5/2 + 11*y/8
Rapid solution [src]
       5   11*re(y)   11*I*im(y)
x1 = - - + -------- + ----------
       2      8           8     
$$x_{1} = \frac{11 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{8} + \frac{11 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{8} - \frac{5}{2}$$
x1 = 11*re(y)/8 + 11*i*im(y)/8 - 5/2
