Abstract: In this letter, focusing in $4$-dimensions, we extend our previous results of solving linear tensor equations. In particular, we consider a $30$ parameter linear tensor equation for the unknown tensor components $N_{alphamuu}$ in terms of the known (sources) components $B_{alphamuu}$. Our extension now consists in including also the parity even linear terms in $N_{alphamuu}$ (and the associated traces) formed by contracting the latter with the $4$-dimensional Levi-Civita pseudo-tensor. Assuming a generic non-degeneracy condition and following a step by step procedure we show how one can solve explicitly for the unknown tensor field components $N_{alphamuu}$ and consequently derive its unique and exact solution in terms of the components $B_{alphamuu}$.
