The solution

You have entered [src]
-15*x - y = 10
$$- 15 x - y = 10$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-15*x-1*y = 10

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-y - 15*x = 10

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 15 x = y + 10$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -15
x = 10 + y / (-15)

We get the answer: x = -2/3 - y/15

       2   re(y)   I*im(y)
x1 = - - - ----- - -------
       3     15       15  
$$x_{1} = - \frac{\operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{15} - \frac{i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{15} - \frac{2}{3}$$
x1 = -re(y)/15 - i*im(y)/15 - 2/3
