What is Cramer's Rule?
If Ax = b is a system of n linear equations in n unknowns such that det(A) not equal to 0, then
the system has a unique solution. This solution is x1 = det(A1)/det(A) , x2 = det(A2)/det(A) ,..., xn = det(An)/det(A) where Aj is the matrix obtained by replacing the entries in the j th column of A by the entries in the matrix b |
