Example

Let's consider a simple example of how linear algebra can be used to solve a system of linear equations. Suppose we have the following system:

2x + 3y = 8
x - y = 2

Using matrix notation, we can represent this system as:

| 2  3 |   | x |   | 8 |
| 1 -1 | * | y | = | 2 |

To solve for ( x ) and ( y ), we can use the inverse of the coefficient matrix:

| 2  3 |     | 8 |
| 1 -1 | * | 2 | = | x |

This leads us to the solution:

x = 3
y = 1
