You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you cannot solve this equation, as you have 2 things you do not know, ie x and y but only 1 equation linking them: there are therefore an infinite number of solutions to this, eg:

1+4
2+3
3+2
-10+15
-200+205 etc etc

To find a specific solution you need another equation as well.
