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.
