The solution

You have entered [src]
-8*x - 11*y = 1
$$- 8 x - 11 y = 1$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-8*x-11*y = 1

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-11*y - 8*x = 1

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 8 x = 11 y + 1$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -8
x = 1 + 11*y / (-8)

We get the answer: x = -1/8 - 11*y/8
Rapid solution [src]
       1   11*re(y)   11*I*im(y)
x1 = - - - -------- - ----------
       8      8           8     
$$x_{1} = - \frac{11 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{8} - \frac{11 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{8} - \frac{1}{8}$$
x1 = -11*re(y)/8 - 11*i*im(y)/8 - 1/8
