The solution

You have entered [src]
-7*x - 16*y = 8
$$- 7 x - 16 y = 8$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-7*x-16*y = 8

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-16*y - 7*x = 8

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 7 x = 16 y + 8$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -7
x = 8 + 16*y / (-7)

We get the answer: x = -8/7 - 16*y/7

       8   16*re(y)   16*I*im(y)
x1 = - - - -------- - ----------
       7      7           7     
$$x_{1} = - \frac{16 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{7} - \frac{16 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{7} - \frac{8}{7}$$
x1 = -16*re(y)/7 - 16*i*im(y)/7 - 8/7
