This seems like an incredibly simple and silly question to ask, but everything I've found about it has been too complex for me to understand.
I have these two very basic simultaneous equations:
X = 2x + 2z
Y = z - x
Given that I know both X and Y, how would I go about finding x and z? It's very easy to do it by hand, but I have no idea how this would be done in code.
@Alexandre , you missed one condition.. Here is the final code
void SolveLinearEquations (float a,float b,float c,float d,float u,float v, float &x, float &y)
{
float f;
float g;
if (abs(a) > abs(c))
{
f = u * c / a;
g = b * c / a;
y = (v - f) / (d - g);
if(c != 0)
x = (f - g * y) / c;
else
x = (u - b * y)/a;
}
else
{
f = v * a / c;
g = d * a / c;
x = (u - f) / (b - g);
if (a != 0)
y = (f - g * x) / a ;
else
y = (v - d * x)/c;
}
}
