I have been set a series of questions as part of my MATLAB coursework, one of them is stated here; "Solve a linear system of equation A

You will find the mldivide,\ (link) function useful.

[Dan Smith]

okay thankyou, like i say i have next to 0 matlab knowledge so is there any way you could go into more detail on this, why x = mldivide instead of x = a/b, which is another command ive seen that could potentially be useful

[Dan Smith]

so if i simply pluck two singular matrices out of the air and call them A and B, typing mldivide(A,B) will solve this for me?

[Star Strider]

If they’re singular, no.

If you want the nullspace of your matrix, use the null (link) function.
