The solution

You have entered [src]
7*x + 5*y = 8
$$7 x + 5 y = 8$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
7*x+5*y = 8

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
5*y + 7*x = 8

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$7 x = 8 - 5 y$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 7
x = 8 - 5*y / (7)

We get the answer: x = 8/7 - 5*y/7

$$x_{1} = - \frac{5 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{7} - \frac{5 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{7} + \frac{8}{7}$$
x1 = -5*re(y)/7 - 5*i*im(y)/7 + 8/7
