However, you can force decimal answers using the evalf command. We can also convert this system of equations to a matrix systems. In other words, this command simply writes out what the vector b looks like. A matrix method can be solved using a different command, the linsolve command. We can do this just as well.
Some systems are dependent which means there are an infinite number of solutions.
The form of these solutions will entail the use of parameters. An inconsistent system has not solution. Maple generally, refuses to answer questions which have no answer. One of the most important methods used to solve a matrix system is Gauss-Jordan Elimination using row operations. Take an equation and obtain the coefficient matrix and constant vector as we did above.
