Issue with lsolve

Hello!

 

I have a system of equations with units.  when I use lsolve, I get different answers (all incorrect) depending on the units used.  however, the solve block works correctly.  This is Prime 7.  sheet attached.

 

Any ideas?  maybe a bug in lsolve?

Hi,

There is nothing wrong with lsolve().

lsolve() is being given different values to work on in each case like this.

Obviously your system does not have a unique solution but more than one

No wonder as the determinant of Mx is very close to zero

The "correct" solution found with the solve block

but the solution found with lsolve seems to be OK as well
