Systems of Eqns with Matrices

Notice the eqns are written in standard form. Every coefficient must be represented and in the corresponding row and column. If a variable is not present in an eqn, the coefficient would be ZERO.

Can't Divide by a Matrix

Instead of dividing by the coefficient matrix, A, MULTIPLY BY THE INVERSE to solve for the variable matrix, X

It is ALWAYS the inverse of the coefficient matrix multiplied by the constant matrix.
