The solution

You have entered [src]
-x - 2*y = -3
$$- x - 2 y = -3$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-1*x-2*y = -3

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-x - 2*y = -3

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- x = 2 y - 3$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -1
x = -3 + 2*y / (-1)

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