The solution

You have entered [src]
9*x + 8*y = -4
$$9 x + 8 y = -4$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
9*x+8*y = -4

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
8*y + 9*x = -4

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$9 x = - 8 y - 4$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 9
x = -4 - 8*y / (9)

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

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