The solution

You have entered [src]
-9*x + 17*y = -4
$$- 9 x + 17 y = -4$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-9*x+17*y = -4

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-9*x + 17*y = -4

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 9 x = - 17 y - 4$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -9
x = -4 - 17*y / (-9)

We get the answer: x = 4/9 + 17*y/9
Rapid solution [src]
     4   17*re(y)   17*I*im(y)
x1 = - + -------- + ----------
     9      9           9     
$$x_{1} = \frac{17 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{9} + \frac{17 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{9} + \frac{4}{9}$$
x1 = 17*re(y)/9 + 17*i*im(y)/9 + 4/9
