The solution

You have entered [src]
3*x + 5*y = 20
$$3 x + 5 y = 20$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
3*x+5*y = 20

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
3*x + 5*y = 20

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$3 x = 20 - 5 y$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 3
x = 20 - 5*y / (3)

We get the answer: x = 20/3 - 5*y/3

$$x_{1} = - \frac{5 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{3} - \frac{5 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{3} + \frac{20}{3}$$
x1 = -5*re(y)/3 - 5*i*im(y)/3 + 20/3
