Use a matrix to solve the simultaneous equations

x
– 3
y
= 18

x
+ 2
y
= 1
{

.
Placing simultaneous equations
ax

k
cx
+
dy
=
l
{
}
inside matrices A =
a b
c d
, X =
x
y
, and B =
k
l
makes it possible to express them as AX = B.
This means that if inverse matrix A
-1
exists for Matrix A, then X = A
