The solution

You have entered [src]
-7*x - 15*y = 18
$$- 7 x - 15 y = 18$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-7*x-15*y = 18

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-15*y - 7*x = 18

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 7 x = 15 y + 18$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -7
x = 18 + 15*y / (-7)

We get the answer: x = -18/7 - 15*y/7
Rapid solution [src]
       18   15*re(y)   15*I*im(y)
x1 = - -- - -------- - ----------
       7       7           7     
$$x_{1} = - \frac{15 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{7} - \frac{15 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{7} - \frac{18}{7}$$
x1 = -15*re(y)/7 - 15*i*im(y)/7 - 18/7
