The solution

You have entered [src]
5*x - 6*y = -1
$$5 x - 6 y = -1$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
5*x-6*y = -1

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-6*y + 5*x = -1

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$5 x = 6 y - 1$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 5
x = -1 + 6*y / (5)

We get the answer: x = -1/5 + 6*y/5

$$x_{1} = \frac{6 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{5} + \frac{6 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{5} - \frac{1}{5}$$
x1 = 6*re(y)/5 + 6*i*im(y)/5 - 1/5
