I'm in a little bit of a pickle here, can someone tell me if it is actually possible to solve these? From the general rule of thumb, 4 variables, 4 equations should be able to right?
Is it possible to solve: xa = 4200, xb = 4410, ya=4000, yb = 4200 for x, y, a and b?

0Mosquito-nuking solution: the Jacobian determinant for this system of equations is zero, so no. – 2010-11-15

0@Rainbow: offhand question, have you taken up calculus already? The "nuke" solution becomes less of a "nuke" if you have a lot of simultaneous equations. – 2010-11-15
