The solution

You have entered [src]
-16*x - 7*y = -5
$$- 16 x - 7 y = -5$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-16*x-7*y = -5

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-16*x - 7*y = -5

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 16 x = 7 y - 5$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -16
x = -5 + 7*y / (-16)

We get the answer: x = 5/16 - 7*y/16
Rapid solution [src]
     5    7*re(y)   7*I*im(y)
x1 = -- - ------- - ---------
     16      16         16   
$$x_{1} = - \frac{7 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{16} - \frac{7 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{16} + \frac{5}{16}$$
x1 = -7*re(y)/16 - 7*i*im(y)/16 + 5/16
