Solving Systems with Cramer’s Rule

For ax + by = e, cx + dy = f: D = ad − bc, x = (ed − bf) ÷ D, y = (af − ce) ÷ D

For three equations, each variable equals the determinant with that variable’s column replaced by the constants, divided by the main determinant D. If D = 0 there’s no single solution.
