The solution

You have entered [src]
-15*x - 5*y = 12
$$- 15 x - 5 y = 12$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-15*x-5*y = 12

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-15*x - 5*y = 12

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 15 x = 5 y + 12$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -15
x = 12 + 5*y / (-15)

We get the answer: x = -4/5 - y/3

$$x_{1} = - \frac{\operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{3} - \frac{i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{3} - \frac{4}{5}$$
x1 = -re(y)/3 - i*im(y)/3 - 4/5
