A general question on how to set the display of the number in MathCad

[hellowworld]

Hi everyone,

I am a new mathcad user

I have a question on how to set the out put of the "solve" function in the "symbolic keyword toolbar"

I defined an equation in terms of some constant variable (I mean I have assigned a numerical value to a variable) and I use the solve function

Eg.
----------------------------------------------------
a:=100

a*x=50 solve,X --> 50/100.00000000000000000000000

-------------------------------------------------------
my question is how to ask mathcad to give me the overall result instead of giving me a numerical expression
I have been searching in the help file for an hour now..
I guess it is probably mentioned in somewhere that I overlooked.
Please tell me how I can ask mathcad to give me a evaluated value. I only want the final answer but not the expression

Thank you

Can't you just do;

a:=100
x:=50

a/x=2

I'm a bit confused by what your asking if it is otherwise

 

[ferryscott]

sorry meant x/a=.5

You are using the symbolic equality, hence the symbolic solution. You should be using the normal = sign

For the numeric engine:
x:=10 guess value
a:=100

Given a*x <ctrl>=50

Find(x)=
