12-8 Matrices
Solving systems of linear equations
Example Solve the following linear system:
1. Open the Matrix catalog and choose to create a vector in
the M1 variable.
>6+,)7@
MATRIX I@X•
*e,>(17(5@
2. Create the vector of the constants in the linear system.

3. Return to the Matrix
catalog. The vector you
created is listed as M1.
>6+,)7@
MATRIX
4. Select the M2 variable and create a new matrix.
