The solution

You have entered [src]
-x - 17*y = -12
$$- x - 17 y = -12$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-1*x-17*y = -12

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-x - 17*y = -12

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- x = 17 y - 12$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -1
x = -12 + 17*y / (-1)

We get the answer: x = 12 - 17*y
Rapid solution [src]
x1 = 12 - 17*re(y) - 17*I*im(y)
$$x_{1} = - 17 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)} - 17 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)} + 12$$
x1 = -17*re(y) - 17*i*im(y) + 12
