Integral in solve
How would I set up an integral in solve app to, say, have integral x^2 from 0 to y = 20?

Do you mean $$\int_0^{20}x^{2} dx$$ ? That's not an equation, it's just an expression. To evaluate an expression, just type it into Home or CAS; this one evaluates to 8000/3. The Solve app is for solving equations.

If I misunderstood your question, what equation you want to solve?

He says equals to 20, so it is an equation. Not solvable in the solver.

In Solve App this seems to work okay (using Home variables X, T and the math template):

In CAS, you can use solve(), fsolve() to get a numerical or symbolic result

This works fine. However, if you tried this and it didn't work, it is probably because you accidentally did x^2d(x=20) instead of (x^2)dx =20

Make sure you press the right arrow once after to move out of the variable of integration template location before your =20.

It may be expressed for int(x^2,x,0,y)=20...
It's an Integral equation and is easily solved in Solve App!

I've tried the syntax (and other variations) suggested by Anderson, Tim, and CR. In each case, when I go into Num template and submit a guess, I get "bad guess(es)". Could I be in an odd operating mode?

I get the same :/ that's why I said it was not solvable in that app. I tried with int and with the template too.

See Tim's reply above. If you're using Textbook Entry mode, you have to press right-cursor between typing dX and typing =20.
