Two-variable linear system solved by Cramer's rule

Quick Answer

System of Equations Solver: Two-variable linear system solved by Cramer's rule. System: a₁x + b₁y = c₁; a₂x + b₂y = c₂.

x +y =
x +y =

x = 2.8, y = 0.8

Verify: 2×2.8 + 3×0.8 = 8.0000

Cramer's rule

  1. 1D = a₁b₂ − a₂b₁ = 2×-1 − 1×3 = -5
  2. 2Dₓ = c₁b₂ − c₂b₁ = 8×-1 − 2×3 = -14
  3. 3Dᵧ = a₁c₂ − a₂c₁ = 2×2 − 1×8 = -4
  4. 4x = Dₓ/D = 2.8；y = Dᵧ/D = 0.8

💡 Geometric view: each equation is a line; the solution is their intersection. D≠0 → one crossing point; D=0 → parallel (no solution) or coincident (infinite). Cramer's rule generalizes to n equations but gets slow — beyond 3×3, Gaussian elimination wins.

Formula & How It Works

Two-variable linear system (Cramer's rule)

System: a₁x + b₁y = c₁; a₂x + b₂y = c₂
D = a₁b₂ − a₂b₁; Dx = c₁b₂ − c₂b₁; Dy = a₁c₂ − a₂c₁
D ≠ 0: unique solution x = Dx/D, y = Dy/D
D = 0 with Dx = Dy = 0: infinite solutions; otherwise no solution

Example: 2x+3y=12, x−y=1 → D = −5, Dx = −15 → x=3; Dy = −10 → y=2.
