The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
13*x-18*y = -17
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-18*y + 13*x = -17
Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$13 x = 18 y - 17$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 13
x = -17 + 18*y / (13)
We get the answer: x = -17/13 + 18*y/13
17 18*re(y) 18*I*im(y)
x1 = - -- + -------- + ----------
13 13 13
$$x_{1} = \frac{18 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{13} + \frac{18 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{13} - \frac{17}{13}$$
x1 = 18*re(y)/13 + 18*i*im(y)/13 - 17/13
