    The author proves the folloving theorem (main result): Let \(v_1(x), v_2(x),\dots ,v_n(x)\) be a set of vector fields linearly independent at all points in \(\mathbb{R}^n=\{x\}.\) It is supposed that these fields generate a solvable Lie algebra \(g\) with respect to the ordinary commutator \([\cdot,\cdot]:\, [v_k,v_j]=c_{1,j}^1v_1+ c_{2,j}^2v_2+\dots +c_{k,j}^kv_k,\) \(k,j=1,2,\dots, n.\) Then, each of the \(n\) differential equations \(\dot{x}=v_j(x),\) \(x\in \mathbb{R}^n,\) \(j=1,2,\dots, n,\) is integrable by quadratures.
