The solution

You have entered [src]
-19*x - 5*y = -16
$$- 19 x - 5 y = -16$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-19*x-5*y = -16

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-19*x - 5*y = -16

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 19 x = 5 y - 16$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -19
x = -16 + 5*y / (-19)

We get the answer: x = 16/19 - 5*y/19
Rapid solution [src]
     16   5*re(y)   5*I*im(y)
x1 = -- - ------- - ---------
     19      19         19   
$$x_{1} = - \frac{5 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{19} - \frac{5 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{19} + \frac{16}{19}$$
x1 = -5*re(y)/19 - 5*i*im(y)/19 + 16/19
