Hi,
So I'm struggling to understand exactly what is the issue that is occurring that is stopping the system of equations below from solving. I know that it is solvable, I did it by hand, and I have the answers for verification. However, it is in the software claiming to be unsolvable. Am I entering it in improperly?
OK, I played around with this puzzle:
The solve block fails when using square roots and variables with units
Getting rid of the roots does not help
Getting rid of the units does not help, either
BUT .... getting rid of roots AND units does the trick
Because we squared we get also negative solutions which we can get rid of by using the modifier "Assume, ALL>0"
Of course we must add the correct units manually
I was curious and tried the old symbolic engine (muPad) which was included up to version Prime 6. Not surprisingly its a bit more capable than the new one. It still throws a strange error initially ("Cannot understand the syntax") but we get results by either removing the units OR removing the roots:
