then it is possible to find l x , m x , n x , p x , such that we have identically 
— ¿21 + m23 + w(S - pT) + ¿j2( x — m£& x — n x ^. x + p& x = 0. 
This equation will in fact be identically true if only 
-ffl + gg'ni + hh'n . - gh'm x - g'hn x = 0, 
cc'm + hh'n —ffp . + cb'm 1 + bo'n x = 0, 
gc'm — hh'n + ff'l x + gh'm x — hc'n x = 0, 
eg'm — hh'n . -f ch'm x + hg'n x +ff'p x — 0. 
From the first and second equations eliminating m x or n x , the other of these quantities 
disappears of itself, and we thus obtain two equations which must be equivalent to 
a single one, viz., we have 
he'ffl 4- c'g'a fm + hh a'f'n + g'hff'p = 0, 
h'cff'l + cga'f'm + h'h'afn + gh'ff'p = 0 ; 
which equations may also be written

100. Similarly, from the third and fourth equations eliminating m or n, the other 
of these quantities disappears of itself, and we find
