This works in the Mathematica front-end, don't know about J/Link:
eqn={F==2*T};
T = 300;
sol = Solve[eqn, F]
F /. sol[[1]]
In[1]:= eqn = {F==2*T};
In[2]:= T=300;
In[3]:= sol = Solve[eqn,F]
Out[3]= {{F -> 600}}
In[4]:= F/.sol[[1]]
Out[4]= 600
Obviously, this technique blows up if there are multiple solutions to
the equation.
