This method, although popular with beginners, should not be encouraged
by experienced Mathematica users, as it will result in confusing error
messages in cases of equations with no solutions and equations where
every complex is a solution:
In[44]:= Solve[x == x, x][[1,1,2]]
During evaluation of In[44]:= Part::partw:Part 1 of {} does not exist.
>>
Out[44]= {{}}[[1,1,2]]
In[45]:= Solve[x + 1 == x][[1,1,2]]
During evaluation of In[45]:= Part::partw:Part 1 of {} does not exist.
>>
Out[45]= {}[[1,1,2]]
