Note Set 18d: Solving A→x=→b with determinants and Cramer's Rule
Rather surprisingly, we find that determinants allow us to find an exact solution for A→x=→b that always works if →b is in the Column Space of A. Things become completely crazy when we determine a formula for the inverse of A. So our work should be done? No: determinants are hard to compute and the main use of Cramer's rule is for theoretical work and small systems.
