Solving matrix equations?



Given an n x n matrix A, and an n x 1 matrix b, is there a way of solving

Ax = b

other than invert(A).b?

If I could append b to A, then I could apply "echelon" to the augmented
matrix.  However, I can't find a command which allows me to append, or
stack matrices.

Thanks,
Alasdair
