Solving an Equation
Use the solve („1) function to solve an equation for a specified variable.
solve(equation, var)
Do a full expansion of (x2Nx) (y2Ny) with
respect to all variables.
Then do a partial expansion with respect to x.
Solve x + y N 5 = 2x N 5y for x.
Notice that solve displays only the final result.
