The solution

You have entered [src]
15*x - 12*y = -19
$$15 x - 12 y = -19$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
15*x-12*y = -19

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-12*y + 15*x = -19

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$15 x = 12 y - 19$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 15
x = -19 + 12*y / (15)

We get the answer: x = -19/15 + 4*y/5
Rapid solution [src]
       19   4*re(y)   4*I*im(y)
x1 = - -- + ------- + ---------
       15      5          5    
$$x_{1} = \frac{4 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{5} + \frac{4 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{5} - \frac{19}{15}$$
x1 = 4*re(y)/5 + 4*i*im(y)/5 - 19/15
