The solution

You have entered [src]
-18*x + 8*y = -3
$$- 18 x + 8 y = -3$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-18*x+8*y = -3

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-18*x + 8*y = -3

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 18 x = - 8 y - 3$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -18
x = -3 - 8*y / (-18)

We get the answer: x = 1/6 + 4*y/9
Rapid solution [src]
     1   4*re(y)   4*I*im(y)
x1 = - + ------- + ---------
     6      9          9    
$$x_{1} = \frac{4 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{9} + \frac{4 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{9} + \frac{1}{6}$$
x1 = 4*re(y)/9 + 4*i*im(y)/9 + 1/6
