coefficients of x' (the equations of [condition?] are supposed to be arranged in regular order) place the letter A, over the coefficients of y' B, of z' C and over the column of absolute [terms?] (IV). Take first the first equation, add the coefficient of x' and teh coefficient of y' or as they have been designated by column letters (a) and (b). The sum (a + b) = [0?].8900. Place this on the first line of the blank under the head (a + b). Now add the coefficient of x' (a) and the coefficient of (z') or (c), (a + c) = 1.3413. Record this on the first line under (a + c). Add algebraically the coefficient of x' (a) and the absolute term (n). (a + n) = [0?].8316. Record this under (a + n) on the first line. Remember then, the coefficient of x'
