Consider the following system of equations:

(image)

It is given that the determinant of the coefficient matrix of the system is a, with a ≠ 0. Find a solution of x2 only (if it exists) in terms of a,b,c,d,e and f (or some of these) by using Cramer's rule. Order any expression consisting of a sum of terms by giving the constant term first and order the rest of the terms alphabetically. Follow the normal use of brackets (only) when necessary and use "/" for division. Leave the space blank if the system is inconsistent.
