The solution

You have entered [src]
5*x + 2*y = 14
$$5 x + 2 y = 14$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
5*x+2*y = 14

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
2*y + 5*x = 14

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$5 x = 14 - 2 y$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 5
x = 14 - 2*y / (5)

We get the answer: x = 14/5 - 2*y/5

$$x_{1} = - \frac{2 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{5} - \frac{2 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{5} + \frac{14}{5}$$
x1 = -2*re(y)/5 - 2*i*im(y)/5 + 14/5
