The solution

You have entered [src]
9*x - 12*y = 8
$$9 x - 12 y = 8$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
9*x-12*y = 8

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-12*y + 9*x = 8

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$9 x = 12 y + 8$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 9
x = 8 + 12*y / (9)

We get the answer: x = 8/9 + 4*y/3

$$x_{1} = \frac{4 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{3} + \frac{4 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{3} + \frac{8}{9}$$
x1 = 4*re(y)/3 + 4*i*im(y)/3 + 8/9
