# Function lusolve

Solves the linear system `A * x = b` where `A` is an [n x n] matrix and `b` is a [n] column vector.


## Syntax

```js
math.lusolve(A, b)     // returns column vector with the solution to the linear system A * x = b
math.lusolve(lup, b)   // returns column vector with the solution to the linear system A * x = b, lup = math.lup(A)
```

### Parameters

Parameter | Type | Description
--------- | ---- | -----------
`A` | Matrix &#124; Array &#124; Object | Invertible Matrix or the Matrix LU decomposition
`b` | Matrix &#124; Array | Column Vector
`order` | number | The Symbolic Ordering and Analysis order, see slu for details. Matrix must be a SparseMatrix
`threshold` | Number | Partial pivoting threshold (1 for partial pivoting), see slu for details. Matrix must be a SparseMatrix.

### Returns

Type | Description
---- | -----------
DenseMatrix &#124; Array | Column vector with the solution to the linear system A * x = b


## Examples

```js
const m = [[1, 0, 0, 0], [0, 2, 0, 0], [0, 0, 3, 0], [0, 0, 0, 4]]

const x = math.lusolve(m, [-1, -1, -1, -1])        // x = [[-1], [-0.5], [-1/3], [-0.25]]

const f = math.lup(m)
const x1 = math.lusolve(f, [-1, -1, -1, -1])       // x1 = [[-1], [-0.5], [-1/3], [-0.25]]
const x2 = math.lusolve(f, [1, 2, 1, -1])          // x2 = [[1], [1], [1/3], [-0.25]]

const a = [[-2, 3], [2, 1]]
const b = [11, 9]
const x = math.lusolve(a, b)  // [[2], [5]]
```
