The solution

You have entered [src]
-7*x - 4*y = -5
$$- 7 x - 4 y = -5$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-7*x-4*y = -5

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-7*x - 4*y = -5

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 7 x = 4 y - 5$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -7
x = -5 + 4*y / (-7)

We get the answer: x = 5/7 - 4*y/7

$$x_{1} = - \frac{4 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{7} - \frac{4 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{7} + \frac{5}{7}$$
x1 = -4*re(y)/7 - 4*i*im(y)/7 + 5/7
