The solution

You have entered [src]
17*x - 19*y = -14
$$17 x - 19 y = -14$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
17*x-19*y = -14

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-19*y + 17*x = -14

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$17 x = 19 y - 14$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 17
x = -14 + 19*y / (17)

We get the answer: x = -14/17 + 19*y/17
Rapid solution [src]
       14   19*re(y)   19*I*im(y)
x1 = - -- + -------- + ----------
       17      17          17    
$$x_{1} = \frac{19 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{17} + \frac{19 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{17} - \frac{14}{17}$$
x1 = 19*re(y)/17 + 19*i*im(y)/17 - 14/17
