The solution

You have entered [src]
17*x + 13*y = -3
$$17 x + 13 y = -3$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
17*x+13*y = -3

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
13*y + 17*x = -3

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$17 x = - 13 y - 3$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 17
x = -3 - 13*y / (17)

We get the answer: x = -3/17 - 13*y/17

       3    13*re(y)   13*I*im(y)
x1 = - -- - -------- - ----------
       17      17          17    
$$x_{1} = - \frac{13 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{17} - \frac{13 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{17} - \frac{3}{17}$$
x1 = -13*re(y)/17 - 13*i*im(y)/17 - 3/17
