Your result
Unique solution
FormulaCramer's rule for a₁x+b₁y=c₁ and a₂x+b₂y=c₂.
- Calculate the determinant.
- Replace each coefficient column with constants.
- Divide determinants.
Worked example: 2x+y=7 and x−y=2 gives x=3, y=1.
Accuracy notice: The arithmetic follows the displayed formula. Its practical accuracy still depends on valid inputs, appropriate units, and display rounding.
Understand the result before using it
System of equations uses a₁, b₁, c₁, a₂, b₂, and c₂ to calculate its result. It applies a defined mathematical relationship to the values you enter and reports the resulting quantity.
Formula, assumptions, and example
Formula
Cramer's rule for a₁x+b₁y=c₁ and a₂x+b₂y=c₂.
Assumptions
- The entered a₁, b₁, c₁, a₂, b₂, and c₂ are complete, valid, and use the units or format shown beside each field.
- Inputs represent ordinary real numbers unless the tool explicitly accepts another format.
- The displayed operation and order of operations match the formula shown on the page.
Worked example
2x+y=7 and x−y=2 gives x=3, y=1.
When to use it
Good uses
- Check homework or a hand calculation.
- Explore how changing an input changes the result.
- Create a quick numerical reference without setting up a spreadsheet.
Limitations
Common mistakes to avoid
- An undefined operation, such as division by zero, cannot produce a valid finite result.
- Rounded display values can differ slightly from the full internal result.
- Check the formula, source data, units, and displayed precision before relying on the result.
