You can't enter your expressions with `=` to create and Equality. You would have to reenter as Eq(5*x+2*y,10) or `parse_expr('5*x+2*y=10',transformations=T[1,9]')` (see [here](https://stackoverflow.com/a/73307040/1089161)).
Past that, there is no SymPy function that will solve this, but in PR https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/22389 I added code today that will do so. Your equality will be treated like a function to maximize under the constrains that x<=1 and y<=1 (and both are nonnegative): >>> func = 5*x+2*y-10 >>> cond = [x<=1, y<=1] >>> LP(func, cond, [x,y])[:2] (-3, {x: 1, y: 1}) So that function has a maximum value of -3 when x and y are 1. Now negate the function and repeat >>> LP(-func, cond, [x,y])[:2] (10, {x: 0, y: 0}) The max of the negated function is 10 when x and y are 0. So the min of the function is -10. You are interested in the case when the function is 0. Since the function is linear and has as bounds [-10, -3] which does not contain 0, it seems to me that this proves there is no solution. /c On Tuesday, August 9, 2022 at 10:46:55 AM UTC-5 m...@bokomoko.de wrote: > Hi Jeremy, > > thanks for sharing your link and thanks for compiling the documentation. > And > indeed it helped, with the information I could easily fix it: > > rd@h370:~/tmp.nobackup$ cat test-sympy.py > import sympy > > x, y, z = sympy.symbols('x y z') > sympy.init_printing(use_unicode=True) > > print(sympy.solvers.inequalities.reduce_rational_inequalities([[x + 2 > > 0]], > x)) > > > print(sympy.solvers.inequalities.reduce_rational_inequalities([[x + 2 > > 0,x < > 5]], x)) > rd@h370:~/tmp.nobackup$ python3 test-sympy.py > (-2 < x) & (x < oo) > (-2 < x) & (x < 5) > rd@h370:~/tmp.nobackup$ > > I read through your page and posted some feedback at > > https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/23768 > > My real problem is somewhat more complex though: > > I want to find out if > > f_vec+a*x_vec+b*y_vec+n*s_vec=sh_vec+c*xsh_vec+d*ysh_vec > > has a solution with > > 0<=a,b,c,d<=1 > > All quantities with _vec are 3 dimensional vectors.
