The solution

You have entered [src]
-17*x + 2*y = -4
$$- 17 x + 2 y = -4$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-17*x+2*y = -4

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-17*x + 2*y = -4

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 17 x = - 2 y - 4$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -17
x = -4 - 2*y / (-17)

We get the answer: x = 4/17 + 2*y/17
Rapid solution [src]
     4    2*re(y)   2*I*im(y)
x1 = -- + ------- + ---------
     17      17         17   
$$x_{1} = \frac{2 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{17} + \frac{2 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{17} + \frac{4}{17}$$
x1 = 2*re(y)/17 + 2*i*im(y)/17 + 4/17
