TI-84 Plus Matrix Functions

This video tutorial demonstrates how to solve a system of equations using the TI-84 Plus calculator. It guides users through setting up a 2x3 matrix, inputting equation values, and using the rref function to find solutions for x and y. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the process rather than performing complex calculations.
