How to Solve Equations with java?

Question

I have three equations like the following ones:

• x + y + z = 100;
• x + y - z = 50;
• x - y - z = 10;

How can I find the values of

Answer 1

Since you're writing Java, you can use the JAMA package to solve this. I'd recommend a good LU decomposition method.

It's a simple linear algebra problem. You should be able to solve it by hand or using something like Excel pretty easily. Once you have that you can use the solution to test your program.

There's no guarantee, of course, that there is a solution. If your matrix is singular, that means there is no intersection of those three lines in 3D space.
