The solution

You have entered [src]
17*x - 7*y = 15
$$17 x - 7 y = 15$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
17*x-7*y = 15

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-7*y + 17*x = 15

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$17 x = 7 y + 15$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 17
x = 15 + 7*y / (17)

We get the answer: x = 15/17 + 7*y/17
Rapid solution [src]
     15   7*re(y)   7*I*im(y)
x1 = -- + ------- + ---------
     17      17         17   
$$x_{1} = \frac{7 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{17} + \frac{7 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{17} + \frac{15}{17}$$
x1 = 7*re(y)/17 + 7*i*im(y)/17 + 15/17
