The solution

You have entered [src]
2*x + y = -8
$$2 x + y = -8$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
2*x+1*y = -8

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
y + 2*x = -8

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$2 x = - y - 8$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 2
x = -8 - y / (2)

We get the answer: x = -4 - y/2
Rapid solution [src]
          re(y)   I*im(y)
x1 = -4 - ----- - -------
            2        2   
$$x_{1} = - \frac{\operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{2} - \frac{i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{2} - 4$$
x1 = -re(y)/2 - i*im(y)/2 - 4
