Re: Solving Equations with 3 variables and many parameters

Show all headers | View raw

You need to use Equal ( == ) in the equations rather than Set ( = ).


eqns1 = {P1 == (a[1] + C*b[11] + b[12]*P2)/(2*b[11]),
   P2 == (a[2] + C*b[22] + b[21]*P1)/(2*b[22])};


sol1 = Solve[eqns1, {P1, P2}];


eqns1 /. sol1 // Simplify


{{True, True}}


eqns2 = {P1 == (a[1] + C*b[11] + b[12]*P2 + b[13]*P3)/(2*b[11]),
   P2 == (a[2] + C*b[22] + b[21]*P1 + b[23]*P3)/(2*b[22]),
   P3 == (a[3] + C*b[33] + b[31]*P1 + b[32]*P2)/(2*b[33])};


sol2 = Solve[eqns2, {P1, P2, P3}];


eqns2 /. sol2 // Simplify


{{True, True, True}}
