Sol = Solve[{ {{-x,0,z},{x,-y,0},{0,y,-z}}.{A,B,C}==0, A + B + C == 1}, {A, B, C}][[1]]; where [[1]] is used to strip the outer brackets rate=A*x/.Sol (x*y*z)/(x*y + z*y + x*z) (A*x==B*y==C*z)/.Sol True Bob Hanlon ---- tnad <terry_najdi at hotmail.com> wrote: > I'm a bit new to this so please bear with me.
