Have you considered multiplying the first set of equations by the
denominator to convert them to something like the following:
x1*(A1+B1+C1)-A1=0.
This will give you 12 equations in 9 unknowns. For this, "lm"
will give you the least squares solution. If the system has a single
unique solution, "lm" will find it and report a residual standard
deviation equivalent to round-off error. To do this, it helps to make a
"data.frame", described, e.g., in "An Introduction to R"
available via
help.start().
