SUMMARYIt is possible to use the built-in matrix functions of Excel to solve systems of linear equations. The system of equations must have a single solution. The matrix must be square. MORE INFORMATIONExampleThe two linear equations
can be represented on a worksheet in a matrix, as follows:
You can then use the MMULT() and MINVERSE() functions to solve the equations. The answer in this case will be a one-dimensional (1-D) vertical array containing two values. It is necessary to select two cells, vertically, then enter the following formula as an array.
Note: The braces ({ }) were not entered, they indicate that the formula was entered as an array with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER. The above formula will produce the following results if entered in cells E1 and E2:
