Cramers rule

Cramer's rule is another way to solve a system of equations without using substitution or elimination.  The equation for cramer's rule is x=Dx/d y=Dy/d z=Dz/d.  To use this equation you have to first find D which is the determinant of the equation.  To find x you substitute the answers into the x slot and then find the determinant and divide that by D.  You do this to all of the variables to find them.  If D=0 then the equation is inconsistent and has no answers.  Here is an example of Cramer's rule.
