The solution

You have entered [src]
-15*x - 13*y = -20
$$- 15 x - 13 y = -20$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-15*x-13*y = -20

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-15*x - 13*y = -20

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 15 x = 13 y - 20$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -15
x = -20 + 13*y / (-15)

We get the answer: x = 4/3 - 13*y/15
Rapid solution [src]
     4   13*re(y)   13*I*im(y)
x1 = - - -------- - ----------
     3      15          15    
$$x_{1} = - \frac{13 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{15} - \frac{13 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{15} + \frac{4}{3}$$
x1 = -13*re(y)/15 - 13*i*im(y)/15 + 4/3
