To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
An Indeterminate Equation is one that can be verified by different values of the same unknown quantity. Thus, if we have, . . . X— 2/=3, By transposition, . . . X—3~\-y. If we make y=\ ; then, £=4. If we make 2/=2; then, #=5, and so on; from which it is evident that an unlimited number of values may be given to X and y, that will verify the equation. If we have two equations containing three unknown quantities, we may eliminate one of them ; this will leave one equation containing two unknown q...uantities, which, as in the preceding example, will be indeterminate. Thus, in x+ty— 5^=20, x- 2/+3z=16, If we eliminate re, we have, after reducing, y— 2z=l ; whence, y=l-\-2z. SIMPLE EQUATIONS. 125 If we make 0=1 ; then, £/=3, and z=20-f 5z— 3y—W. If we make z=2 ; then, #=5, and x=15. So, any number of values of the three unknown quantities may- be found that will verify both equations. These examples are suf- ficient to establish the following General Principle. — When the number of unknown quan- tities exceeds the number of independent equations, the prob- lem is indeterminate.
