Solutions of Simultaneous Equations

This program solves simultaneous linear equations in two or three unknowns.
It does this through matrix inversion and matrix multiplication.

A system of three linear equations

AX + DY + GZ = J

BX + EY + HZ = K

CX + FY + IZ = L

can be represented by the matrix equation below.

=

The matrix equation may be solved for X, Y, and Z by multiplying the result
matrix by the inverse of the coefficient matrix.
