Solve Simultaneous Equations with Matrices

The document outlines the process of solving simultaneous equations using matrices, providing two examples. It demonstrates how to express the equations in matrix form, pre-multiply by the inverse of the coefficient matrix, and derive solutions. The final solutions for the examples are x = -1, y = 5 and u = 12, v = 6.
