About the Cover.
This is Cramer's Rule for the system {x}_{1} + 2 {x}_{2} = 6, {}3 {x}_{1} + {x}_{2} = 8. The size of the first box is the determinant shown
(the absolute value of the size is the area). The size of the second box is {x}_{1} times that, and equals the size of the final box. Hence, {x}_{1} is the final determinant divided by the first determinant.

Nobody has written it yet — it is the source material at a new address, which is why search engines are asked to skip it and why no one earns from it. It is up for grabs: take it on, and it is yours to rewrite and to earn from.
