The solution

You have entered [src]
-4*x + 17*y = -16
$$- 4 x + 17 y = -16$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-4*x+17*y = -16

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-4*x + 17*y = -16

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 4 x = - 17 y - 16$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -4
x = -16 - 17*y / (-4)

We get the answer: x = 4 + 17*y/4
Rapid solution [src]
         17*re(y)   17*I*im(y)
x1 = 4 + -------- + ----------
            4           4     
$$x_{1} = \frac{17 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{4} + \frac{17 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{4} + 4$$
x1 = 17*re(y)/4 + 17*i*im(y)/4 + 4
