The solution

You have entered [src]
-16*x - 5*y = -14
$$- 16 x - 5 y = -14$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-16*x-5*y = -14

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-16*x - 5*y = -14

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 16 x = 5 y - 14$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -16
x = -14 + 5*y / (-16)

We get the answer: x = 7/8 - 5*y/16

     7   5*re(y)   5*I*im(y)
x1 = - - ------- - ---------
     8      16         16   
$$x_{1} = - \frac{5 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{16} - \frac{5 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{16} + \frac{7}{8}$$
x1 = -5*re(y)/16 - 5*i*im(y)/16 + 7/8
