50g

Im starting a long journey into the world of math, which is not my
best subject. I bought a 50g to try an ease the route a little its
alot more than I need currently but in the future it will be needed.
Anyhows I was playing around with it trying to learn the functions and
cant seem to figure a few simple things out.

for example if i go into the eqaution writer and type 9-x=3
then select eval it gives me -(x-9)=3 So how would i get it to solve
for x?

use "SOLVEVX" (or find it in the catalog (CAT))

So it cant be done just by entering it in the equation writer and
hitting solve?

you can
the syntax is: solvevx(9-x=3)
so write in the equation, select it (by pushing the up arrow) and in the
S.SLV menu press solvevx

place the equation on the stack then place the variable x on the stack
now press solve ....but solvex saves the step ..more efficient hhmmm?

Another method would be to use Isol, look it up in the advanced users
guide, very handy command.
