The solution

You have entered [src]
-6*x - 20*y = 8
$$- 6 x - 20 y = 8$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-6*x-20*y = 8

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-20*y - 6*x = 8

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 6 x = 20 y + 8$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -6
x = 8 + 20*y / (-6)

We get the answer: x = -4/3 - 10*y/3

$$x_{1} = - \frac{10 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{3} - \frac{10 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{3} - \frac{4}{3}$$
x1 = -10*re(y)/3 - 10*i*im(y)/3 - 4/3
