The solution

You have entered [src]
8*x - 12*y = 9
$$8 x - 12 y = 9$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
8*x-12*y = 9

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-12*y + 8*x = 9

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$8 x = 12 y + 9$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 8
x = 9 + 12*y / (8)

We get the answer: x = 9/8 + 3*y/2

$$x_{1} = \frac{3 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{2} + \frac{3 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{2} + \frac{9}{8}$$
x1 = 3*re(y)/2 + 3*i*im(y)/2 + 9/8
