  1. 1Determinant = 2×-1 − 4×3 = -14
  2. 2x = (c₁b₂ − c₂b₁) ÷ det = 2
  3. 3y = (a₁c₂ − a₂c₁) ÷ det = 3
Formula
Cramer's rule for a 2×2 system

How it works

Solves two simultaneous linear equations a₁x + b₁y = c₁ and a₂x + b₂y = c₂ using Cramer's rule.

Example

2x + 3y = 13 and 4x − y = 5 give x = 2, y = 3.
