The solution

You have entered [src]
-17*x - 11*y = -1
$$- 17 x - 11 y = -1$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-17*x-11*y = -1

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-17*x - 11*y = -1

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 17 x = 11 y - 1$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -17
x = -1 + 11*y / (-17)

We get the answer: x = 1/17 - 11*y/17
Rapid solution [src]
     1    11*re(y)   11*I*im(y)
x1 = -- - -------- - ----------
     17      17          17    
$$x_{1} = - \frac{11 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{17} - \frac{11 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{17} + \frac{1}{17}$$
x1 = -11*re(y)/17 - 11*i*im(y)/17 + 1/17
