The solution

You have entered [src]
-5*x + 3*y = 10
$$- 5 x + 3 y = 10$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-5*x+3*y = 10

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-5*x + 3*y = 10

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 5 x = 10 - 3 y$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -5
x = 10 - 3*y / (-5)

We get the answer: x = -2 + 3*y/5
Rapid solution [src]
          3*re(y)   3*I*im(y)
x1 = -2 + ------- + ---------
             5          5    
$$x_{1} = \frac{3 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{5} + \frac{3 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{5} - 2$$
x1 = 3*re(y)/5 + 3*i*im(y)/5 - 2
