The solution

You have entered [src]
18*x - 8*y = -2
$$18 x - 8 y = -2$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
18*x-8*y = -2

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-8*y + 18*x = -2

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$18 x = 8 y - 2$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 18
x = -2 + 8*y / (18)

We get the answer: x = -1/9 + 4*y/9

$$x_{1} = \frac{4 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{9} + \frac{4 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{9} - \frac{1}{9}$$
x1 = 4*re(y)/9 + 4*i*im(y)/9 - 1/9
