Matrix Inversion and Variable Solutions

The video tutorial explains how to solve a system of equations using the matrix method. It begins by setting up the equations and forming a matrix. The tutorial then covers calculating the determinant, cofactors, and adjoint of the matrix. It proceeds to find the inverse of the matrix and uses it to solve for the variables X, Y, and Z. The final section presents the calculated values of the variables, demonstrating the complete solution process.
