The solution

You have entered [src]
8*x + 2*y = -11
$$8 x + 2 y = -11$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
8*x+2*y = -11

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

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$8 x = - 2 y - 11$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 8
x = -11 - 2*y / (8)

We get the answer: x = -11/8 - y/4

$$x_{1} = - \frac{\operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{4} - \frac{i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{4} - \frac{11}{8}$$
x1 = -re(y)/4 - i*im(y)/4 - 11/8
