Cramers Rule

The document discusses 3x3 matrices and determinants, and Cramer's Rule for solving systems of 3 linear equations. It provides examples of 3x3 matrices and how to calculate their determinants using the "basket weave" method. It then introduces Cramer's Rule, which uses determinants of 3x3 matrices to solve systems of 3 equations, and provides examples of using Cramer's Rule to solve different systems. In the conclusion, it recaps the three methods covered for solving systems of 3 linear equations: substitution, elimination, and Cramer's Rule.
