Homework Statement


I'm given the values: UH=2031, BH=36927 and VH=146405 and I'm asked to solve the following equations iteratively to find UJ BJ and VJ.



Homework Equations


UJ=UH+0.179(BJ-VJ)
BJ=BH+0.060(BJ-VJ)
VJ=VH-0.004(BJ-VJ)

I don't know how to solve equations iteratively please help!

I'm in desperate need of help. Any would be greatly appreciated :)

think about linear system.. look at your equatons ;)
 
more help would be appreciated I have no experience with the linear system :/ thanks :)
 
tried lookin the linear system up but there's so many methods I don't know which to use :/

I should note that this is part of a larger astronomy project but I posted it in a maths forum as I only need to know how to solve the equations. I've stared at the equations for hours and looked up linear systems but I don't think I'm any closer :/
