The solution

You have entered [src]
-8*x + 12*y = 15
$$- 8 x + 12 y = 15$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-8*x+12*y = 15

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-8*x + 12*y = 15

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 8 x = 15 - 12 y$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -8
x = 15 - 12*y / (-8)

We get the answer: x = -15/8 + 3*y/2
Rapid solution [src]
       15   3*re(y)   3*I*im(y)
x1 = - -- + ------- + ---------
       8       2          2    
$$x_{1} = \frac{3 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{2} + \frac{3 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{2} - \frac{15}{8}$$
x1 = 3*re(y)/2 + 3*i*im(y)/2 - 15/8
