The solution

You have entered [src]
-12*x - 10*y = -16
$$- 12 x - 10 y = -16$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-12*x-10*y = -16

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-12*x - 10*y = -16

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 12 x = 10 y - 16$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -12
x = -16 + 10*y / (-12)

We get the answer: x = 4/3 - 5*y/6

$$x_{1} = - \frac{5 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{6} - \frac{5 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{6} + \frac{4}{3}$$
x1 = -5*re(y)/6 - 5*i*im(y)/6 + 4/3
