The solution

You have entered [src]
15*x + 3*y = -8
$$15 x + 3 y = -8$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
15*x+3*y = -8

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

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$15 x = - 3 y - 8$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 15
x = -8 - 3*y / (15)

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

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