Re: SOLVER( and-then-what-?-please-tell-me
Using the Solve( command on the 83 is a big hassle, but if you really want to use
it check the manual. It's easier to go in the math menu and press 0 for
Solver... Then you type in 2X-4 (yes minus not = ) press enter. Move the cursor
into the field that says X= or X: (something like that, i'm not sure what it is
exactly). When in that field press Alpha and enter. Wait for it to solve for you
