Solving a System of Equations by Graphing or Tool Feature
A system of equations is made up of two or more equations. The calculator provides the
Calculate feature and Tool feature to solve a system of equations. The Calculate feature
finds the solution by calculating the intersections of the graphs of equations and is useful
for solving a system when there are two variables, while the Tool feature can solve a linear
system up to six variables and six equations.
Note that the
x
and
y
coordi-
nates are shown at the bot-
tom of the screen. The answer
is :
x
= - 0.41
y
= - 0.83
