Another approach is to use ReplaceRepeated when using the rules. equ = {a + b + c == 3, a^2 + b^2 + c^2 < 10, a^3 + b^3 + c^3 == 15, a^4 + b^4 + c^4 == 35}; sol = {ToRules[Reduce[equ, {a, b, c}]]}; a^5 + b^5 + c^5 //. sol // Simplify {83,83,83,83,83,83} Bob Hanlon ---- Dana DeLouis <dana.del at gmail.com> wrote: > > Use the Backsubstitution -> True setting for Reduce[] > > Darn!
