The solution

You have entered [src]
12*x - 3*y = -2
$$12 x - 3 y = -2$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
12*x-3*y = -2

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-3*y + 12*x = -2

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$12 x = 3 y - 2$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 12
x = -2 + 3*y / (12)

We get the answer: x = -1/6 + y/4

$$x_{1} = \frac{\operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{4} + \frac{i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{4} - \frac{1}{6}$$
x1 = re(y)/4 + i*im(y)/4 - 1/6
