The solution

You have entered [src]
18*x - 12*y = -20
$$18 x - 12 y = -20$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
18*x-12*y = -20

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-12*y + 18*x = -20

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$18 x = 12 y - 20$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 18
x = -20 + 12*y / (18)

We get the answer: x = -10/9 + 2*y/3

$$x_{1} = \frac{2 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{3} + \frac{2 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{3} - \frac{10}{9}$$
x1 = 2*re(y)/3 + 2*i*im(y)/3 - 10/9
