The solution

You have entered [src]
-5*x - 2*y = -14
$$- 5 x - 2 y = -14$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-5*x-2*y = -14

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-5*x - 2*y = -14

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 5 x = 2 y - 14$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -5
x = -14 + 2*y / (-5)

We get the answer: x = 14/5 - 2*y/5

     14   2*re(y)   2*I*im(y)
x1 = -- - ------- - ---------
     5       5          5    
$$x_{1} = - \frac{2 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{5} - \frac{2 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{5} + \frac{14}{5}$$
x1 = -2*re(y)/5 - 2*i*im(y)/5 + 14/5
