The solution

You have entered [src]
18*x - 5*y = 16
$$18 x - 5 y = 16$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
18*x-5*y = 16

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-5*y + 18*x = 16

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$18 x = 5 y + 16$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 18
x = 16 + 5*y / (18)

We get the answer: x = 8/9 + 5*y/18
Rapid solution [src]
     8   5*re(y)   5*I*im(y)
x1 = - + ------- + ---------
     9      18         18   
$$x_{1} = \frac{5 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{18} + \frac{5 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{18} + \frac{8}{9}$$
x1 = 5*re(y)/18 + 5*i*im(y)/18 + 8/9
