[R] Solving equations

[David Winsemius]

In my education this was 9th or 10th grade (US) math. The r-help mailing list is not set up for providing mini-tutorials on R programming. Please read the Posting Guide, do the expected self-eduction in R programming, do the requested searching on your remaining questions in the Archives or StackOverflow and then in a few weeks considered reposting. Before doing so ... learn to post in plain text as as the Guide request.
