The solution

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

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

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

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