Perhaps another option might be: equ = 30*86.7*x^49 == (3/2)*86.7*1.23^49 2601.*x^49 == 3.3072027245287024*^6 Cases[Chop[Solve[equ, x]], {_ -> _Real}] {{x -> 1.1570536025466724}} -- Dana DeLouis Windows XP Mathematica $VersionNumber -> 4.2 delouis at bellsouth.net = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = "AngleWyrm" <no_spam_anglewyrm at hotmail.com> wrote in message news:bbv513$24o$1 at smc.vnet.net... > I want to extract the answer(s) that don't have an imaginary componant: > > Solve[ 30 86.7 x^49 == 3/2 86.7 1.23^49, x] > > produces a lot of answers, but only the last one is not imaginary, and is > the only useful answer for me.
