What is Cramer’s rule?
In linear algebra, Cramer’s rule is a specific formula used for solving a system of linear equations containing as many equations as unknowns, efficient whenever the system of equations has a unique solution. This rule is named after Gabriel Cramer (1704–1752), who published the rule for an arbitrary number of unknowns in 1750.
How do you use Cramer’s rule to solve linear equations?
To find the ’i’th solution of the system of linear equations using Cramer’s rule replace the ’i’th column of the main matrix by solution vector and calculate its determinant. Then divide this determinant by the main one – this is one part of the solution set, determined using Cramer’s rule. Repeat this operation for each variable.
How to find the i’th solution of the system using Cramer’s rule?

Can we use Cramer’s rule to find the value of variables?
But using Cramer’s rule, we can find the value of any variable without finding the values of the other variables. But this rule has some limitations with respect to the solutions. This rule can be applied only when the system has unique solutions. But how do we know when a system has unique solution?
How do you solve a system of equations using Cramer’s rule?
To solve a system of equations using Cramer’s Rule, first, we write it in the form AX = B. Then Dₓ is a Cramer’s rule determinant of the coefficient matrix where the first column is replaced with the column matrix B.
What is the difference between Gaussian elimination and Cramer’s rule?
Cramer’s rule implemented in a naïve way is computationally inefficient for systems of more than two or three equations. In the case of n equations in n unknowns, it requires computation of n + 1 determinants, while Gaussian elimination produces the result with the same computational complexity as the computation of a single determinant.
What is Cramer’s theorem?
Then the theorem states that in this case the system has a unique solution, whose individual values for the unknowns are given by: is the matrix formed by replacing the i -th column of A by the column vector b . A more general version of Cramer’s rule considers the matrix equation
