The solution

You have entered [src]
16*x - 17*y = -15
$$16 x - 17 y = -15$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
16*x-17*y = -15

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-17*y + 16*x = -15

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$16 x = 17 y - 15$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 16
x = -15 + 17*y / (16)

We get the answer: x = -15/16 + 17*y/16

       15   17*re(y)   17*I*im(y)
x1 = - -- + -------- + ----------
       16      16          16    
$$x_{1} = \frac{17 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{16} + \frac{17 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{16} - \frac{15}{16}$$
x1 = 17*re(y)/16 + 17*i*im(y)/16 - 15/16
