We know already how to solve systems of linear equations using substitution, elimination, and graphing. This time, we want to talk about how to solve systems using inverse matrices. To walk through this, let’s use a simple system.

In math and science you might meet a variable with a subscript. Don’t let them scare you, they’re just a way to keep track of variables that could be related to each other in some way. For instance, if we’re doing a problem involving the distance that two people travel, we might use the variables D_A and D_B to indicate the distances related to person A and person B, respectively.
