Consider two linear equations in two unknowns: a11x1 + a12x2 = b₁ a21x1 + a22x2 = b₂ which can be written in matrix notation as Ax = b where A is a coefficient matrix with dimension (2 × 2). Using the two linear equations, obtain expressions for ₁ and 2, and then show that if |A| ‡ 0 then a unique solution exists for the system of equations.
