Solving these, we find

2 + 4_m_ 6

_x_ = ——————————— _A_ - ————————— _B_,

_m_² - _m_ _m_² - _m_

12 _B_ 6 _A_

_y_ = ————————— ————— - -————————— ————— .

_m_³ - _m  N_ _m_² - _m  N_

In the present case,

_m_ = 8, _N_ = 14, _A_ = 138·4, _B_ = 770·9;

whence _x_ = 1·44

_y_ = 0·252,

and we have the formula,

_F_ = 1·44 + 0·252 _R_.
