The solution

You have entered [src]
-2*x - 16*y = -7
$$- 2 x - 16 y = -7$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-2*x-16*y = -7

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-16*y - 2*x = -7

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 2 x = 16 y - 7$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -2
x = -7 + 16*y / (-2)

We get the answer: x = 7/2 - 8*y
Rapid solution [src]
x1 = 7/2 - 8*re(y) - 8*I*im(y)
$$x_{1} = - 8 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)} - 8 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)} + \frac{7}{2}$$
x1 = -8*re(y) - 8*i*im(y) + 7/2
