Cramer's Rule Theorem 1. (Cramer's Rule) Let $Ax = b$ be a system of $n$ linear equations in $n$ unknowns, where $x = (x_1, ..., x_n)^t$. If $\det(A) \neq 0$, then this system has a unique solution, and $$x_k = \frac{\det(M_k)}{\det(A)}, \forall k \in \{1, ..., n\},$$ where $M_k \in M_{n \times n}(F)$ obtained from $A$ by replacing column $k$ of $A$ by $b$. Proof. Let $y \in F^n$, and let denote..
