times the second equation equals the third equation. Since this always holds for the right sides, all of which are 0, we merely need to require it to hold for the left sides as well:

times the original second equation equals the original third equation; we conclude that the third equation is linearly dependent on the first two.

to obtain an equivalent expression not involving a square root of an expression itself involving a square root, we can postulate the existence of

satisfying all three equations in the parameters, and therefore the third original equation would be independent of the first two.

A similar problem, involving equating like terms rather than coefficients of like terms, arises if we wish to de-nest the

on both sides, and equating the constants on both sides gives the following system in the desired parameters

Note that if the constant term in the original third equation had been anything other than –7, the values (
