The solution

10*x - 15*y = 16
$$10 x - 15 y = 16$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
10*x-15*y = 16

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-15*y + 10*x = 16

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$10 x = 15 y + 16$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 10
x = 16 + 15*y / (10)

We get the answer: x = 8/5 + 3*y/2

x1 = - + ------- + ---------
     5      2          2    
$$x_{1} = \frac{3 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{2} + \frac{3 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{2} + \frac{8}{5}$$
x1 = 3*re(y)/2 + 3*i*im(y)/2 + 8/5
