Solve a system of linear equations.

Given a system of linear equations

$ \begin{array}{ccccccccc} a_{1,1} x_1 & + & a_{1,2} x_2 & + & \ldots & + & a_{1,n} x_n & = & a_{1,(n+1)} \\ a_{2,1} x_1 & + & a_{2,2} x_2 & + & \ldots & + & a_{2,n} x_n & = & a_{2,(n+1)} \\ \vdots & & \vdots & & \ddots & & \vdots & & \vdots \\ a_{n,1} x_1 & + & a_{n,2} x_2 & + & \ldots & + & a_{n,n} x_n & = & a_{n,(n+1)} \\ \end{array} $
in matrix form, identify the solution $x = (x_1, x_2,\ldots x_N)$.
m should point to a C-style array containing the $n\times(n+1)$ matrix A.
The elements of A are row-ordered, i.e., they are ordered like this:
$ a_{1,1}, a_{1,2}, \cdot, a_{1,(n+1)}, a_{2,1}, \ldots a_{n,(n+1)} $
x points to a C-style array that will contain the solution vector x upon successful termination of the function.
If there is no solution or the system is under-determined, return false.
Parameters:
m pointer to the factors in the equations
x pointer in which the results are stored
dim the dimension of the equation system (number of variables)
Returns:
bool true if a solution is found
