Solutions of Simultaneous Equations

This program solves simultaneous linear equations in two or three unknowns. It
does this through matrix inversion and matrix multiplication.

A system of three linear equations

AX

+ DY + GZ = J

BX

+ EY + HZ = K

CX

+ FY + IZ = L

can be represented by the matrix equation below.
