The solution

You have entered [src]
2*x - 7*y = -20
$$2 x - 7 y = -20$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
2*x-7*y = -20

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-7*y + 2*x = -20

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$2 x = 7 y - 20$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 2
x = -20 + 7*y / (2)

We get the answer: x = -10 + 7*y/2

           7*re(y)   7*I*im(y)
x1 = -10 + ------- + ---------

$$x_{1} = \frac{7 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{2} + \frac{7 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{2} - 10$$
x1 = 7*re(y)/2 + 7*i*im(y)/2 - 10
