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:
-11*y + 17*x = -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
