Cramer's rule is useful for reasoning about the solution, but, except for n = 2 or 3, it is rarely used for computing a solution, since Gaussian elimination is a faster algorithm. The determinant of an endomorphism is the determinant of the matrix representing the endomorphism in terms of some ordered basis.
