The solution

You have entered [src]
16*x + 7*y = -5
$$16 x + 7 y = -5$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
16*x+7*y = -5

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
7*y + 16*x = -5

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$16 x = - 7 y - 5$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 16
x = -5 - 7*y / (16)

We get the answer: x = -5/16 - 7*y/16

$$x_{1} = - \frac{7 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{16} - \frac{7 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{16} - \frac{5}{16}$$
x1 = -7*re(y)/16 - 7*i*im(y)/16 - 5/16
