•An error (Variable ERROR) occurs when the solution variable is
not included in the expression being solved.
k Example SOLVE Operation
Example: To solve y = ax

Precautions when Using SOLVE
• SOLVE may not be able to obtain a solution because of the initial
value (assumed value) of the solution variable. If this happens, try
changing the initial value of the solution variable.
