Using mathmatica, solving single equation

[kougou]

Hi

I am trying to use mathmatica to solve single equation:

So :I enter "solve[x^2+2x-2==0,x]"
But that is what I get:

input[1]=solve[x^2+2x-2==0,x]
output[1]=solve[ false,0]

Why doesn't it solve the equation

Did you capitalize "Solve"?

Write "solve" with capital "s"

Solve[x^2+2x-2==0,x]
