Hello,
I am new to Mathematica, and I just downloaded it tonight. I need to do a very specific procedure: calculate a complicated system of equations in 6 variables. I have tried for hours on end to do this, following the instructions as they are listed in Mathematica: "In a system of equations with multiple variables, you can solve for some or all of the variables by using a list in the second argument." I have done so, but my answer is given as one number, which makes no sense. My work is given below.
Solve[{44826600000*a+406601000000*b+
134691918588*c+656526*f+512206908*e+170700546*d-7642032.5==0,3757520000000*b
+406601000000*a+1233170000000*c+5925820*f+4678814294*e+
1544327542*d-69097900==0, 406601000000*c+134692000000*a+
1233170000000*b+1967580*f+1544327592*e+512206908*d -22936700==0,
170700546*a+1544327592*b+512206908*c+2550*f+1967580*e+656526*d-29327.5==0,
512206908*a+4678814150*b+1544327592*c+7634*f+5925818*e+1967580*d-87833==0,
10*f+656526*a+5925820*b+1967580*c+7634*e+2550*d-113.5==0},
{a,b,c,d,e,f}]
Answer: 4.06601 x 10^11.
What is this answer??? I should be getting a different value for a, b, c, d, e, and f, not a single number. Can someone please help me and tell me what exactly I am doing wrong?
Thanks!
