<p>If i have like a matrix with real numbers and it asks me to solve for x and y on a smaller matrix, what do i do? sorry for the lack of description.</p>
<p>Is it a matrix with vertical lines? If so, determine the [url=<a href=“http://www.analyzemath.com/Tutorial-System-Equations/determinants.html]determinant[/url”>Page Moved]determinant[/url</a>] (ha!) of each matrix and set the two expressions equal.</p>
<p>I really would like to understand your question :(.
Can you describe it a bit more detailed?
Where exactly are x and y appearing?
As a separate vector or as coefficients of the matrix?</p>
