Linear Solver app

The Linear Solver app enables you to solve a set of linear
equations. The set can contain two or three linear
equations.

In a two-equation set, each equation must be in the form

. In a three-equation set, each equation must

be in the form

.

You provide values for a, b, and k (and c in three-equation
sets) for each equation, and the app will attempt to solve
for x and y (and z in three-equation sets).

The HP Prime will alert you if no solution can be found, or
if there is an infinite number of solutions.
