The solution

You have entered [src]
-17*x - 7*y = 16
$$- 17 x - 7 y = 16$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-17*x-7*y = 16

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-17*x - 7*y = 16

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 17 x = 7 y + 16$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -17
x = 16 + 7*y / (-17)

We get the answer: x = -16/17 - 7*y/17
Rapid solution [src]
       16   7*re(y)   7*I*im(y)
x1 = - -- - ------- - ---------
       17      17         17   
$$x_{1} = - \frac{7 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{17} - \frac{7 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{17} - \frac{16}{17}$$
x1 = -7*re(y)/17 - 7*i*im(y)/17 - 16/17
