The solution

You have entered [src]
-2*x - 7*y = 19
$$- 2 x - 7 y = 19$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-2*x-7*y = 19

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-7*y - 2*x = 19

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 2 x = 7 y + 19$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -2
x = 19 + 7*y / (-2)

We get the answer: x = -19/2 - 7*y/2

$$x_{1} = - \frac{7 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{2} - \frac{7 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{2} - \frac{19}{2}$$
x1 = -7*re(y)/2 - 7*i*im(y)/2 - 19/2
