The solution

You have entered [src]
-12*x + 13*y = -15
$$- 12 x + 13 y = -15$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-12*x+13*y = -15

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-12*x + 13*y = -15

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 12 x = - 13 y - 15$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -12
x = -15 - 13*y / (-12)

We get the answer: x = 5/4 + 13*y/12
Rapid solution [src]
     5   13*re(y)   13*I*im(y)
x1 = - + -------- + ----------
     4      12          12    
$$x_{1} = \frac{13 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{12} + \frac{13 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{12} + \frac{5}{4}$$
x1 = 13*re(y)/12 + 13*i*im(y)/12 + 5/4
