First we evaluate the matrix corresponding to the coefficients of the variables.

axx+ayy+azz=A,

bxx+byy+bzz=B,

cxx+cyy+cz​​​​​​​z=C,

represent the system of equations with the coefficients and the constants. Cramer's Rule can be used. First evaluate:

⎟ax aaz​​​​​​​⎟

⎟bx bbz​​​​​​​⎟

⎟cx ccz​​​​​​​⎟

Call this determinant D. If D=0, the system is inconsistent or insufficient.

Then we evaluate three determinants, one for each variable:

Dx=

⎟A aaz​​​​​​​⎟

⎟B bbz​​​​​​​⎟

⎟C ccz​​​​​​​⎟

From this x=Dx/D.

Dx=

⎟A ay  az​​​​​​​⎟

⎟B by  bz​​​​​​​⎟

⎟C cy  cz​​​​​​​⎟

From this x=Dx/D.

Dy=

⎟ax A  az​​​​​​​⎟

⎟bx B  bz​​​​​​​⎟

⎟cx C  cz​​​​​​​⎟

From this y=Dy/D.

Dz=

⎟ax ay A​​​​​​​⎟

⎟bx by B⎟

⎟cx cy C​​​​​​​⎟

From this z=Dz/D.
