Key Concept: Conditions for Solutions of a System of Linear Equations (Cramer's Rule)

For a system of linear equations in matrix form AX=BAX = B, where AA is the coefficient matrix, XX is the variable matrix, and BB is the constant matrix, we use determinants to determine the nature of solutions. Let Δ=det(A)\Delta = \det(A) be the determinant of the coefficient matrix. Let Δx,Δy,Δz\Delta_x, \Delta_y, \Delta_z (or Δ1,Δ2,Δ3\Delta_1, \Delta_2, \Delta_3 as sometimes denoted) be the determinants obtained by replacing the column of coefficients for x,y,zx, y, z respectively with the constant terms from matrix BB.

The conditions are:
