Which is a faster method, I don't know how to do matrices so I can't compare the two personally.

It depends on the system you are talking about.  For large linear systems, - matrices.  For others, it depends on details.

Also matrix solutions lend themselves readily to computerized solution systems.  Being a math teacher, however, I'm more comfortable with non-matrix approaches.

The quantum computers will have a heck of a time making my cleverness obsolete
