Hi,

you have 3 equations and two unknowns ?? This can 
only
have a solution, when one of the 3 equations is 
linear
depend on one of the others.
For exact numbers Mathematica can find the linear 
depend equation
for inexact numbers you will get problems with the
precision.

In your case it may be the best to remove one of 
the
equations
Solve[{2 x + 3 y == 8 + I 7.,
-2 I x + (1 + 3 I) y == 3 + 5 I}, {x, y}]

Regards

  Jens

| Hi
| I f I try to solve these equations
|
| Solve[{2 x + 3 y == 8 + I 7,
|    3 x +  y == 5 + 7 I, -2 I x + (1 + 3 I) y == 
3 + 5 I}]
|
| the result is
|
| {{x -> 1 + 2*I, y -> 2 + I}}
|
| but if I have
|
| Solve[{2 x + 3 y == 8 + I 7,
|    3 x +  y == 4.99999999999999 + 7 I, -2 I x + 
(1 + 3 I) y == 3 + 5 I}]
|
| gives
|
| \!\(\*FormBox[
|  RowBox[{\(RowReduce::"luc"\), \(\(:\)\(\ \)\), 
"\<\"Result for \
| \\!\\(TraditionalForm\\`RowReduce\\) of badly 
conditioned matrix \
| \\!\\(TraditionalForm\\`\\((\[NoBreak] 
\\(\[LeftSkeleton] 1 \
| \[RightSkeleton]\\) \[NoBreak])\\)\\) may

| ButtonStyle->\\\"RefGuideLinkText\\\
| \", ButtonFrame->None, 
ButtonData:>\\\"General::luc\\\"]\\)\"\>"}], \
| TraditionalForm]\)
|
|
| {}
|
|
| I need only an aproximate result, say 5 digits 
of precission, how can I
| override the NSolve behavior?
|
|
| Thanks in advance
