how to solve an equation?

[tanghanpost]

Dear all,
I have an equation like : 95=1.2*(1+r)+1.5*(1+r)^2+1.6*(1+r)^3+1.7*(1+r)^4
if i want to solve the equation and get r, is there any one who can teach me how to do this in eviews?
very thanks!

EViews isn't really well set up to do this, since
(1) there are four different answers
(2) some of the answers are complex.

But I think the answers are
-2.9343
-0.2221 + 2.7864i
-0.2221 - 2.7864i
2.4374
