Finding variable in equation?

[aalpersen]

Is it possible to find/calculate variable from equation?

Parser pdebug = Parser();
Expression expdebug = pdebug.parse("(((x) - 32)/1.8)+273.15")

So I have that this equation is equal to 50. So for I want "50 = (((x) - 32)/1.8)+273.15. Find x?

Thank you

Hi @aalpersen, solving equations is not possible with this library, it can only evaluate expressions.

You might find a package like equations more suitable for this task.

There you can solve your example equation by finding the root for:
$50 = \frac{(x) - 32)}{1.8} + 273.15 \iff 0 = \frac{(x) - 32)}{1.8} + 273.15 - 50$

Ok, thanks for input and your awesome library.
