The solution

You have entered [src]
-9*x - 17*y = -3
$$- 9 x - 17 y = -3$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-9*x-17*y = -3

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-17*y - 9*x = -3

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 9 x = 17 y - 3$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -9
x = -3 + 17*y / (-9)

We get the answer: x = 1/3 - 17*y/9
Rapid solution [src]
     1   17*re(y)   17*I*im(y)
x1 = - - -------- - ----------
     3      9           9     
$$x_{1} = - \frac{17 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{9} - \frac{17 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{9} + \frac{1}{3}$$
x1 = -17*re(y)/9 - 17*i*im(y)/9 + 1/3
