Tanveer,

You can use the ReplaceAll (/.) substitution command as in the example
below.
Here the two solutions of x^2 + a == b are stored in variables x1 and x2.

In[1]:= sol = Solve[x^2 + a == b, x]
Out[1]= {{x -> -Sqrt[-a + b]}, {x -> Sqrt[-a + b]}}


In[2]:=   x1 = x /. sol[[1]]
          x2 = x /. sol[[2]]
Out[3]= -Sqrt[-a + b]
Out[4]=  Sqrt[-a + b]

Subject: [mg17032]  [mg17010] Problems with Solve





I have an equation
     eqn == rhs

Solving in the following way

     Solve[eqn,x]

the output is something like

     x->2.11

how do I save the value for x to someother variable...


u can mail to tanveer at wam.umd.edu

     thanx
