Solve a system of non-linear equations?

Have you noticed that solving your first nine equations for your first nine variables happens very quickly? And your tenth equation is just the sum of the previous nine variables? Then you can substitute the nine solutions into your tenth equation which should eliminate most of the variables and leave you with one large equation to study.

Most of those solutions appear as Roots. Using InputForm on those solutions might enable you to see the details. This might give you some insight into the form of the tenth equation as a sum of nine roots. Using Simplify on this may or may not help you.

You might be able to force some of those roots into algebraic form, but the results would likely be much larger and more complicated and make understanding the structure more difficult.

Hopefully this will give you another way of looking at your problem.

Thank you so much @ Bill Nelson. I noticed that the first nine equations are solving quickly and are giving a very long analytical solution.

However, I am confused about how these are getting solved because these are 10 simultaneous dependent equations containing 10 dependent variables and in order to get a unique solution, one has to solve them simultaneously. The first 9 equations already contain all these 10 variables.

Also, I am not able to understand the solution in terms of Root and #.

Solve a system of non-linear equations?

What is ct? It's only used in E10 but is not used as to be calculated variable. So could be anything?

Yes. It could be anything.

I am still looking for help on this. If anyone could give his suggestions, it will be really helpful.

It's a nonlinear system and well might hang. Also you won't be able to eliminate all those variables and then solve for the rest. Do you want to eliminate that set, or do you want to solve for one set in terms of the other?
