First set up a coefficient matrix:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A=%28matrix%282%2C2%2C1%2C-3%2C2%2C2%29%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now find the determinant of the matrix \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"det%28A%29=%282%2A1-2%2A-3%29=2%2B6=8\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So to find the y solution, simply replace the second column of the coefficient matrix with the column \"%28matrix%282%2C1%2C8%2C8%29%29\" to get the new matrix\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"B=%28matrix%282%2C2%2C1%2C8%2C2%2C8%29%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now find the determinant of this new matrix\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"det%28B%29=%281%2A8-2%2A8%29=8-16=-8\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now divide the determinant of B by the determinant of A to get \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"det%28B%29%2Fdet%28A%29=-8%2F8=-1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the solution for y is -1 (ie \"y=-1\")\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
