The solution

You have entered [src]
20*x - 9*y = -8
$$20 x - 9 y = -8$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
20*x-9*y = -8

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-9*y + 20*x = -8

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$20 x = 9 y - 8$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 20
x = -8 + 9*y / (20)

We get the answer: x = -2/5 + 9*y/20

       2   9*re(y)   9*I*im(y)
x1 = - - + ------- + ---------
       5      20         20   
$$x_{1} = \frac{9 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{20} + \frac{9 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{20} - \frac{2}{5}$$
x1 = 9*re(y)/20 + 9*i*im(y)/20 - 2/5
