    Applications of systems of linear equations over structures different from the classical field were studied in the 1960s and in recent years have again received increasing attention as a tool for modelling discrete event systems or fuzzy relations. Several authors have observed that a system of the form \(R \otimes x = b\) always has a `principal' solution \(x^* \), i.e. such that the system is solvable if and only if \(x^*\) is a solution; and in this case \(x^*\) is the maximum solution. The connection with residuation theory was pointed out by the first author [Minimax algebra (Lect. Notes Econ. Math. Syst. 166 (1979; Zbl 0399.90052)] and \textit{A. Di Nola} [Fuzzy Sets Syst. 34, No. 3, 365-376 (1990; Zbl 0701.04003)]. The aim of this paper is to show further implications of residuation theory for fuzzy algebra, including a method for testing linear dependence of sets of vectors. Next we address `the inverse problem' studied by \textit{W. Pedrycz} [Fuzzy Sets Syst. 49, No. 3, 339-355 (1992; Zbl 0805.04005)] and propose an efficient algorithm for its solution. Analogies of this approach with methods used in a similar algebra, where multiplication is a group operation, are stressed.
