The solution

You have entered [src]
-4*x - 7*y = -16
$$- 4 x - 7 y = -16$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-4*x-7*y = -16

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-7*y - 4*x = -16

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 4 x = 7 y - 16$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -4
x = -16 + 7*y / (-4)

We get the answer: x = 4 - 7*y/4
Rapid solution [src]
         7*re(y)   7*I*im(y)
x1 = 4 - ------- - ---------
            4          4    
$$x_{1} = - \frac{7 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{4} - \frac{7 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{4} + 4$$
x1 = -7*re(y)/4 - 7*i*im(y)/4 + 4
