The solution

You have entered [src]
-7*x - 9*y = -1
$$- 7 x - 9 y = -1$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-7*x-9*y = -1

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-9*y - 7*x = -1

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 7 x = 9 y - 1$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -7
x = -1 + 9*y / (-7)

We get the answer: x = 1/7 - 9*y/7

$$x_{1} = - \frac{9 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{7} - \frac{9 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{7} + \frac{1}{7}$$
x1 = -9*re(y)/7 - 9*i*im(y)/7 + 1/7
