# Internal calculations are performed using a 15-
digit mantissa, but results are displayed using
a 10-digit mantissa and a 2-digit exponent.
# Simultaneous linear equations are solved by
inverting the matrix containing the coefficients
of the equations. For example, the following

Because of this, precision is reduced as the
value of the determinant approaches zero. Also,
simultaneous equations with three or more
unknowns may take a very long time to solve.
# An error occurs if the calculator is unable to find
a solution.
# After calculation is complete, you can press
