Page 213 - Art. 167 we saw that if the number of unknown quantities is greater than the number of independent equations, there will be an unlimited number of solutions, and the equations will be indeterminate. By introducing conditions, however, we can limit the number of solutions. When positive integral values of the unknown quantities are required, the equations are called simple indeterminate equations. The introduction of this restriction enables us to express the solutions in a very simple form. Ex. 1....
