Honestly I don't know, i guess I'll just try the methods in your link and the LAGRANGE command and see if i get results that look like the ones in my math book

Out of curiosity, what is the topic (in your book) from which you obtained the original problem? And what type of math book is it? (Stats, Linear Algebra, ... )
