    Some Help



    Please. I keep calculating this on my TI84 and the calculator keeps reading error. Just wondering what I might be doing wrong?

    Well, that is just a copy of a similar problem/problems that I am doing. When I type 100+(-.84 X 15) my calculator spits out ERROR(or GO TO).

    Well... that just sounds like a calculator issue. If you can't get simple arithmetic done on your calculator without it spitting out an error then you should probably talk to somebody in person because either your calculator is messed up or you're doing something seriously wrong and both of those are pretty hard for us to diagnose over the internet.

    Yeah, it is a calculator issue. I just did the same problem on Google's Calculator and it came out fine. I just got this calculator as well. Hmmm.

    Re: Some Help

    Do you have any user defined programs on there? (Does anything show up when you hit the 'PRGM' button?)

    I figured out what my problem was. It was me and the calculator. I am NOT familiar with these type of calculators, I kept hitting the minus sign instead of the negate. Thanks anyways.

    Did your calculator come with a manual? Read it. If it didn't, go look it up online.
