Hi, I have been following a tutorial that says to solve systems of linear equations like so: Solve[{2x + 4y == -4, 5x + 7y == 11}, {x, y}] I am wondering if there is a shorthand way to do it by just entering the co-efficients of each equation, i.e. matrix style: Solve??[{2,4,-4},{5,7,11}] cheers, Ben C.
