The solution

You have entered [src]
-10*x - 5*y = 10
$$- 10 x - 5 y = 10$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-10*x-5*y = 10

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-10*x - 5*y = 10

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 10 x = 5 y + 10$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -10
x = 10 + 5*y / (-10)

We get the answer: x = -1 - y/2
Rapid solution [src]
          re(y)   I*im(y)
x1 = -1 - ----- - -------
            2        2   
$$x_{1} = - \frac{\operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{2} - \frac{i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{2} - 1$$
x1 = -re(y)/2 - i*im(y)/2 - 1
