The solution

You have entered [src]
-15*x - 17*y = 13
$$- 15 x - 17 y = 13$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-15*x-17*y = 13

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-17*y - 15*x = 13

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 15 x = 17 y + 13$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -15
x = 13 + 17*y / (-15)

We get the answer: x = -13/15 - 17*y/15
Rapid solution [src]
       13   17*re(y)   17*I*im(y)
x1 = - -- - -------- - ----------
       15      15          15    
$$x_{1} = - \frac{17 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{15} - \frac{17 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{15} - \frac{13}{15}$$
x1 = -17*re(y)/15 - 17*i*im(y)/15 - 13/15
