All, I've read this helpful post here about solving four equations and four unknowns, but my question is how to solve four equations with four unknowns when unknowns are exponents? This is way beyond my math or excel abilities, long story, but I need to figure out some way to program this. Equations are as follows, coefficients/numbers I'm just plugging in arbitrarily.

1. -A*B^2 + C*B^-3 + B/5 - 4 = 10
2. -A*D^2 + C*D^-3 + D/5 - 4 = 0
3. -2*A*C^1 + (-3*C*(B^-4)) + (1/5) = 0
4. -2*A*D^1 + (-3*C(D^-4) + (1/5) = 0

I need a math tutor as much as Excel help, but hoping someone here can shed some light... Thank you for any help!
