ALG: Summary

C-5

If you were to key in



, the calculator would

calculate the result, -107.6471. However, that’s not what you want. To delay the
division until you’ve subtracted 12 from 85, use parentheses:

You can omit the multiplication sign (

×) before a left parenthesis. Implied

multiplication is not available in Equation mode. For example, the expression 2

× (5

– 4) can be entered as

4

, without the

key inserted between 2

and the left parenthesis.
