Spreadsheet: I can't use solve()

RE: Spreadsheet: I can't use solve()
Hello,

In the spreadsheet, A1 cell, type:
=solve(B+34=0, B)
BUT BEFORE YOU PRESS ENTER, click/select on the CAS menu (so that the cell is evaluated using the CAS).
You should get {-34} as the cell value (the cas solve function returns the result in a list because it can solve for more than 1 variable at once).

You can also type:
=Solve.SOLVE(B+34=0,B) (AND MAKE SURE THAT CAS IS NOT CHECKED)
to use the SOLVE function from the Solve app. This will return -34 for the cell

Hope this helps
