The solution

You have entered [src]
-2*x - 4*y = -14
$$- 2 x - 4 y = -14$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-2*x-4*y = -14

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-4*y - 2*x = -14

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 2 x = 4 y - 14$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -2
x = -14 + 4*y / (-2)

We get the answer: x = 7 - 2*y
Rapid solution [src]
x1 = 7 - 2*re(y) - 2*I*im(y)
$$x_{1} = - 2 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)} - 2 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)} + 7$$
x1 = -2*re(y) - 2*i*im(y) + 7
