The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-17*x-15*y = -17
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-17*x - 15*y = -17
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 17 x = 15 y - 17$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -17
x = -17 + 15*y / (-17)
We get the answer: x = 1 - 15*y/17
15*re(y) 15*I*im(y)
x1 = 1 - -------- - ----------
17 17
$$x_{1} = - \frac{15 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{17} - \frac{15 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{17} + 1$$
x1 = -15*re(y)/17 - 15*i*im(y)/17 + 1
