Two unknown variable equation
Actually, x and y have infinite values. For example, using the 1st equation
[3x + 2y = 16],
when...
x = 0, y = 8
x = 1, y = 6.5
x = 2, y = 5
etc, etc, etc
An example...
Cell Value
A1 0
A2 1
A3 2
B1 = =(16-(3*A1))/2
B2 = (16 -(3*A2))/2
B3 = (16 -(3*A3))/2

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out this problem:
3x + 2y = 16
5x - 3y = -5
What is x? What is y?
x=2 y=5
I can do it on paper. Can it be done in excel? If so, how?
Thank you,
John
