<em>Additional comment</em>
For finding solutions to polynomial equations, I like to put them in the form f(x)=0. Most graphing calculators find zeros (x-intercepts) easily. Sometimes they don't do so well with points where curves intersect. Also, the function f(x) is easily iterated by most graphing calculators in those situations where the root is irrational or needs to be found to best possible accuracy.
