The solution

You have entered [src]
16*x + 17*y = -9
$$16 x + 17 y = -9$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
16*x+17*y = -9

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
16*x + 17*y = -9

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$16 x = - 17 y - 9$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 16
x = -9 - 17*y / (16)

We get the answer: x = -9/16 - 17*y/16

x1 = - -- - -------- - ----------
       16      16          16    
$$x_{1} = - \frac{17 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{16} - \frac{17 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{16} - \frac{9}{16}$$
x1 = -17*re(y)/16 - 17*i*im(y)/16 - 9/16
