The solution

3*x - y = 5
$$3 x - y = 5$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
3*x-1*y = 5

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-y + 3*x = 5

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$3 x = y + 5$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 3
x = 5 + y / (3)

We get the answer: x = 5/3 + y/3
Rapid solution [src]
     5   re(y)   I*im(y)
x1 = - + ----- + -------
     3     3        3   
$$x_{1} = \frac{\operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{3} + \frac{i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{3} + \frac{5}{3}$$
x1 = re(y)/3 + i*im(y)/3 + 5/3
