The solution

You have entered [src]
-x - 20*y = -17
$$- x - 20 y = -17$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-1*x-20*y = -17

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-x - 20*y = -17

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- x = 20 y - 17$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -1
x = -17 + 20*y / (-1)

We get the answer: x = 17 - 20*y
Rapid solution [src]
x1 = 17 - 20*re(y) - 20*I*im(y)
$$x_{1} = - 20 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)} - 20 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)} + 17$$
x1 = -20*re(y) - 20*i*im(y) + 17
