Programming your calculator
2 X 2 EQ
Purpose
Solving a set of two simultaneous linear equations, by entering only the coefficients of each.
Operation
The program reminds you of the form for the equations:
a11x + a12y = b1 a21x + a22y = b2
You may have to rewrite your equations into this form before entering them. Input the six coefficients in the correct order, pressing ![]()
![]()
after each.
If the coefficients are all integers, the result will be given as a fraction.
Test the program by finding the solutions to the system:
2x + 3y = 3
12y – 2x = 7
The solution is x = 1/2 and y = 2/3.
