  From the Main Menu, enter the  Equation  mode.
  
   • { SIMUL } ... {linear equation with 2 to 6 unknowns}
   • { POLY } ... {degree 2 to 6 equation}
   • { SOLVER } ... {Solve calculation}
  
  1. Simultaneous Linear Equations
  You can solve simultaneous linear equations with two to six unknowns.
  • Simultaneous Linear Equation with Two Unknowns:
       
a  
1  
x  
 
 +  b  
1  
y  
 
 =  c  
1 
       a  
2  
x  
 
 +  b  
2  
y  
 
 =  c  
2
   
  • Simultaneous Linear Equation with Three Unknowns:
        
a  
1  
x  
 
 +  b  
1  
y  
 
 +  c  
1  
z  
 
 =  d

       a  
2  
x  
 
 +  b  
2  
y  
 
 +  c  
2  
z  
 
 =  d

  1. From the Main Menu, enter the  Equation  mode.
  2. Select the SIMUL (Simultaneous) mode, and specify the number of unknowns (variables).
You can specify from 2 to 6 unknowns.
  3. Sequentially input the coefficients. 
  • The cell that is currently selected for input is highlighted. Each time you input a coefficient, 
the highlighting shifts in the sequence:
      
a  
1 
 →  b  
1 
 →  c  
1 
 →  …  a  n  →  b  n  →  c  n  ( n  = 2 to 6)
  • You can also input fractions and values assigned to variables as coefficients.
  • You can cancel the value you are inputting for the current coefficient by pressing  J at 
any time before you press  w to store the coefficient value. This returns to the coefficient 
to what it was before you input anything. You can then input another value if you want.
  • To change the value of a coefficient that you already stored by pressing  w, move the 
cursor to the coefficient you want to edit. Next, input the value you want to change to. 
  • Pressing  3(CLEAR) clears all coefficients to zero.
  4. Solve the equations.
