It is not a hard and fast rule, but generally I would not put a lot of symbolic or numerical calculation inside the various plot statements. Rather, generate and define the function to be plotted outside the plot statement where you can check it and debug it, and then put that into the plot statement. So here, we define a function y[x]. sol = First@Solve[{5*x + 4*y == 12}, {y}]; y[x_] = y /. sol 1/4 (12 - 5 x) and then plot it.

M.Mendes [mailto:emammendes at gmail.com] Hello I want to use the result of Solve[{5*x+4*y==12},{y}] in Plot[.,{x,0,2}]. Plot[Solve[.],{x,0,2}] does not work. Many thanks Ed PS. I am new to Mathematica.
