Thank you! this is already very helpfull! although this does not work if not all equations are explicitly in all the variables. For example [x+y = 0, x+z = 5]

this code does work even with coefficients that are 0 but doesn't look pretty, can someone help me make it simpler?

s = list(var('x y z'))
eqs = [3*x+z == -4, 2*x-3*y+5*z==2,7*x+2*y-3*z==0]
lhs = map(lambda a: a.lhs(),eqs)
m = []
for leftside in lhs:
    for i in range(3):
      if leftside.coeff(s[i],1 ) == 0:
            m.append(0)  
      else:
            m.append(leftside.coeff(s[i],1 ))
M=matrix(3,m)
M

I have a list of equations in multiple variables and therefor need to know if this list has a unique solution, if I had the coefficientmatrix this would be easily done by calculating the rank. So the question is, is there a fast way to transform the list of equations to a matrix?
