This system has the same number of equations as of unknowns, and will be
referred to as a square system. In general, there should be a unique solution
to the system. The solution will be the point of intersection of the three planes
in the coordinate system (x

) represented by the three equations.


To enter matrix A you can activate the Matrix Writer while the A: field is
selected. The following screen shows the Matrix Writer used for entering
matrix A, as well as the input form for the numerical solver after entering
matrix A (press

` in the Matrix Writer):


Press

˜ to select the B: field. The vector b can be entered as a row vector

with a single set of brackets, i.e.,

[13,-13,-6] @@@OK@@@ .

After entering matrix A and vector b, and with the X: field highlighted, we can
press

@SOLVE! to attempt a solution to this system of equations:
