Set up system of equations in matrix form and invert the matrix.

Matrixes are not complicated, but they can take time. The fastest way is to look at the back of a book where the answers are (lol), but the honest way is to practise. There is no faster way then after practice.

The matrix form of equations with two variables x and y

ax + by = e
cx + dy = f

is

|a b| |x| = |e |
|c d| |y| = | f |

so

|x| = |c| | a b | (-1)
|y| = |d| | c d |

The inverse of the coefficient matrix is

{1/(ad-bc)} |d -b|
....................|-c a|

You now use normal matrix muliplication techniques to get the solution to matrix

|x|
|y|

Cramers rule ...provides a simple and fast method of solution
e.g:ax+by=p------------(1)
cx+dy=q------------(2)
soin matrix form it can be written as
matrix[ a b,c d]* matrix[x,y]=matriix[p,q]
there fore x=det[p b,q d]/det[a b,c d]
and y=det[a p,c q]/det[a b,c d]

Note:read the numbers on left side of comma as 1st row and to the right side of comma as 2nd row
