The solution

You have entered [src]
-6*x + y = -5
$$- 6 x + y = -5$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-6*x+1*y = -5

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
y - 6*x = -5

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 6 x = - y - 5$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -6
x = -5 - y / (-6)

We get the answer: x = 5/6 + y/6
Rapid solution [src]
     5   re(y)   I*im(y)
x1 = - + ----- + -------
     6     6        6   
$$x_{1} = \frac{\operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{6} + \frac{i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{6} + \frac{5}{6}$$
x1 = re(y)/6 + i*im(y)/6 + 5/6
