The solution

You have entered [src]
3*x - 17*y = -6
$$3 x - 17 y = -6$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
3*x-17*y = -6

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-17*y + 3*x = -6

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$3 x = 17 y - 6$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 3
x = -6 + 17*y / (3)

We get the answer: x = -2 + 17*y/3
Rapid solution [src]
          17*re(y)   17*I*im(y)
x1 = -2 + -------- + ----------
             3           3     
$$x_{1} = \frac{17 \operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{3} + \frac{17 i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{3} - 2$$
x1 = 17*re(y)/3 + 17*i*im(y)/3 - 2
