The solution

You have entered [src]
5*x - 13*y = -4
$$5 x - 13 y = -4$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
5*x-13*y = -4

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-13*y + 5*x = -4

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$5 x = 13 y - 4$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 5
x = -4 + 13*y / (5)

We get the answer: x = -4/5 + 13*y/5

$$x_{1} = \frac{13 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{5} + \frac{13 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{5} - \frac{4}{5}$$
x1 = 13*re(y)/5 + 13*i*im(y)/5 - 4/5
