The solution

You have entered [src]
-2*x - 9*y = 1
$$- 2 x - 9 y = 1$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-2*x-9*y = 1

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-9*y - 2*x = 1

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 2 x = 9 y + 1$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -2
x = 1 + 9*y / (-2)

We get the answer: x = -1/2 - 9*y/2

$$x_{1} = - \frac{9 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{2} - \frac{9 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{2} - \frac{1}{2}$$
x1 = -9*re(y)/2 - 9*i*im(y)/2 - 1/2
