Solving Systems of Equations with Matrices

A system of linear equations can be packed into a single matrix equation AX = B, and from there the whole toolkit of matrices applies.

This quiz covers building the coefficient matrix, solving with the inverse, Cramer's rule, and reading the determinant to tell whether a system has one solution, none, or infinitely many.

The last step of the series, and the one that shows what all the earlier machinery was for.
