The solution

You have entered [src]
12*x + 8*y = 18
$$12 x + 8 y = 18$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
12*x+8*y = 18

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
8*y + 12*x = 18

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$12 x = 18 - 8 y$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 12
x = 18 - 8*y / (12)

We get the answer: x = 3/2 - 2*y/3

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