[R] Equate two (or more) functions

Dear List, I was wondering if there is a simple way to solve (equate) two functions in R. For example: (1) 5x + 3y = 30 (2) 12x - 2y = 26 I would like R to finde x = 3 and y = 5 Is there an implemented function in R or would I have to write an own function? Thank you very much for your help.

Re: [R] Equate two (or more) functions

Hello, Try (x - matrix(c(5, 12, 3, -2), ncol=2)) (y - c(30, 26)) solve(x, y) solve.qr(qr(x), y) (Use the second.) Also, see section 5.7.5 of the R-intro.pdf that comes with your (any) installation of R. Hope this helps, Rui Barradas -- View this message in context:
