The solution

You have entered [src]
-2*x - 15*y = -1
$$- 2 x - 15 y = -1$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-2*x-15*y = -1

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-15*y - 2*x = -1

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 2 x = 15 y - 1$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -2
x = -1 + 15*y / (-2)

We get the answer: x = 1/2 - 15*y/2

     1   15*re(y)   15*I*im(y)
x1 = - - -------- - ----------

$$x_{1} = - \frac{15 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{2} - \frac{15 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{2} + \frac{1}{2}$$
x1 = -15*re(y)/2 - 15*i*im(y)/2 + 1/2
