The solution

You have entered [src]
12*x - 2*y = 17
$$12 x - 2 y = 17$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
12*x-2*y = 17

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-2*y + 12*x = 17

Move the summands with the other variables
from left part to right part, we given:
$$12 x = 2 y + 17$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 12
x = 17 + 2*y / (12)

We get the answer: x = 17/12 + y/6
Rapid solution [src]
     17   re(y)   I*im(y)
x1 = -- + ----- + -------
     12     6        6   
$$x_{1} = \frac{\operatorname{re}{\left(y\right)}}{6} + \frac{i \operatorname{im}{\left(y\right)}}{6} + \frac{17}{12}$$
x1 = re(y)/6 + i*im(y)/6 + 17/12
