The solution

You have entered [src]
10*x + 5*y = -17
$$10 x + 5 y = -17$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
10*x+5*y = -17

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
5*y + 10*x = -17

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$10 x = - 5 y - 17$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 10
x = -17 - 5*y / (10)

We get the answer: x = -17/10 - y/2

$$x_{1} = - \frac{\operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{2} - \frac{i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{2} - \frac{17}{10}$$
x1 = -re(y)/2 - i*im(y)/2 - 17/10
