There are two real solutions: Clear[sq1] Clear[xx] solutions = Quiet@Solve[{(1/6)*((sq1*196)*2)^3 - (1/ 6)*((((2.75 + xx)*((3.75 + xx)*21^2))*100)*2)^3 == 1.2902698935932682*^18, (1/6)*((sq1*100)*2)^3 - (1/ 6)*((((2.75 + xx)*((3.75 + xx)*21^2))*36)*2)^3 == 1.883856772422697*^17}, {sq1, xx}]; realOnes = Select[solutions, FreeQ[#, Complex] &] {{sq1 -> 5292., xx -> -6.75}, {sq1 -> 5292., xx -> 0.25}} or realOnes = Select[Chop@solutions, FreeQ[#, Complex] &] {{sq1 -> 5292., xx -> -6.75}, {sq1 -> 5292., xx -> 0.25}} Bobby On Fri, 29 Apr 2011 06:35:15 -0500, Lea Rebanks <lrebanks at netvigator.com> wrote: > Dear All, > > Given the enclosed code - see below. > Please could someone help me setup the code to Solve / Reduce for these 2 > missing values only required > > {SQ1 -> 5292, > XX -> 0.25} > > (I don't want multiple results.)
