-- Posted by trizo911 at 12:50 pm on April 10, 2006 Could someone get me on the right track to creating a program on the TI-82 that would solve an equation such as 2x-5=11 for x. that would be much apreciated. anyway possible. -- Posted by no ones fairy at 12:52 pm on April 10, 2006 doesnt it automatically solve it if you enter it in that way?? -- Posted by trizo911 at 12:54 pm on April 10, 2006 what would i do, solve(2x-5=11   ? i'm just starting with programming calculators, so i dont know much, just looking for a push in the right direction -- Posted by StuddOfGeeks at 12:55 pm on April 10, 2006 just do it in your head lol notthat hard whyneed  a calculator -- Posted by no ones fairy at 12:56 pm on April 10, 2006 Quote: from StuddOfGeeks at 1:55 pm on April 10, 2006 just do it in your head lol notthat hard whyneed  a calculator yeah thats true... dont they teach you how to use them in school? -- Posted by StuddOfGeeks at 12:57 pm on April 10, 2006 they do thats is easy to solve -- Posted by trizo911 at 12:58 pm on April 10, 2006 i know that some are easy, but i want one for harder equations, maybe simotanious equations? i know how to do them but honestly, i'm trying to impress my teacher. i've written simple programs for certain mathematic functions, but i feel like he might like a more complex one. -- Posted by StuddOfGeeks at 1:01 pm on April 10, 2006 those types of equations you have to do in youe head you cant with a calculator lol -- Posted by trizo911 at 1:03 pm on April 10, 2006 one of my friends knows someone who programmed it to prompt u for both equations and then givve the answers for x and y. -- Posted by StuddOfGeeks at 1:05 pm on April 10, 2006 wtf thats madness! i want one lol but use your noggin far more reliable -- Posted by EarthEmpire at 9:11 pm on April 10, 2006 hm, i was looking for exactly the same thing. i can do it all in my head, and i havent used my calculator in a while. trust me, you probably dont need the application to do that. i did it few times on ti 83+ and since then i never got it again. i will tell you if i do get it, cause i dont think you need a program at all. -- Posted by ViTALiTY at 6:52 pm on April 14, 2006 look up Programming in basic, NOT visual basic... but basic -- Posted by shadowpool at 11:03 pm on April 16, 2006 solve(2x-5=11,x) ?
