• Use the coefficient editor screen to input the coefficients of

an equation. The coefficient editor screen shows input
cells for each of the coefficients required by the currently
selected equation type.

• When simultaneous linear equations with three unknowns

are selected as the equation type, the d column will not be
visible on the display when the coefficient editor screen is
first displayed. The d column will become visible when you
move the cursor to it, which causes the screen to shift.

Example: To solve the following equations x + 2y = 5 and 3x -
2y = 3 (x = 2, y = 1.5)
