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
