constant multiplier in each equation: the equations, in fact, are

It is to be observed that r is the same function of k' that q is of k. This

where, if the identity of the two values of k or of the two values of k' were proved
independently (as might doubtless be done), the required theorem, viz. that r is the
same function of k' that q is of k, would follow conversely: and thence the other
equations of the system.
