The solution

You have entered [src]
-20*x + 5*y = 20
$$- 20 x + 5 y = 20$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-20*x+5*y = 20

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-20*x + 5*y = 20

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 20 x = 20 - 5 y$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -20
x = 20 - 5*y / (-20)

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