The solution

You have entered [src]
-17*x - 8*y = 7
$$- 17 x - 8 y = 7$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-17*x-8*y = 7

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-17*x - 8*y = 7

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 17 x = 8 y + 7$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -17
x = 7 + 8*y / (-17)

We get the answer: x = -7/17 - 8*y/17
Rapid solution [src]
       7    8*re(y)   8*I*im(y)
x1 = - -- - ------- - ---------
       17      17         17   
$$x_{1} = - \frac{8 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{17} - \frac{8 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{17} - \frac{7}{17}$$
x1 = -8*re(y)/17 - 8*i*im(y)/17 - 7/17
