The solution

You have entered [src]
15*x + 8*y = 9
$$15 x + 8 y = 9$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
15*x+8*y = 9

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
8*y + 15*x = 9

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$15 x = 9 - 8 y$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 15
x = 9 - 8*y / (15)

We get the answer: x = 3/5 - 8*y/15

$$x_{1} = - \frac{8 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{15} - \frac{8 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{15} + \frac{3}{5}$$
x1 = -8*re(y)/15 - 8*i*im(y)/15 + 3/5
