How to solve simultaneous equations on HP prime
08-21-2020 10:15 PM

Hey, I really Need help doing simultaneous equations on HP Prime. No just using x and y but multiple variables (more than two ). On the TI-inspire there is a function called 'solve system of equations' which makes simultaneous equations really easy to solve, is there anything like this on HP Prime?
This is also a bit of topic but I'm also having issues solving equations in general, sometimes the calculator doesn't recognise that i have input a variable for it to solve such as SOLVE(G-32=76,G) would sometimes give me {G}. someone please help.

Two vital points: (1) Symbolic math should be done in CAS view, not in Home view. Only use Home view for number crunching (AKA floating point calculations). (2) Never use single-letter uppercase variable names when doing symbolic math, since those always have a value and cannot be purged.
Here's one way to solve your system using Prime's CAS:
Please note that solve is spelled in lowercase letters, and is used in CAS view, with lowercase variables. If a variable starts misbehaving, it might have gotten a value attached to it. This can be remedied by purging it, e.g. purge(x).
Hope that helps! Disclaimer: I don't work for HP. I'm just another happy HP calculator user.
