Recall Cramer's rule, Consider the linear system

ax + by = e

cx + dy = f

which in matrix format is image and assume image

Then, x and y can be found with Cramer's rule as

image  andimage

Solve the equation using Cramer's rule

5x+3y = 28
4x+6y = 26

Solve system of equation using the Cramer's rule
