Solve

Solve(equations, vars)

attempts to solve equations for the variables vars.

Solve(equations, vars, domain)

attempts to solve equations for the variables vars in the given domain.

Examples

It’s important to use the == operator to define the equations. If you have unintentionally assigned a value to the variables x, y with the = operator you have to call Clear(x,y) to clear the definitions for these variables.

>> Solve({x^2==4,x+y^2==6}, {x,y})
{{x->2,y->2},{x->2,y->-2},{x->-2,y->2*2^(1/2)},{x->-2,y->(-2)*2^(1/2)}}

>> Solve({2*x + 3*y == 4, 3*x - 4*y <= 5,x - 2*y > -21}, {x,  y}, Integers)
{{x->-7,y->6},{x->-4,y->4},{x->-1,y->2}}

>> Solve(Xor(a, b, c, d) && (a || b) && ! (c || d), {a, b, c, d}, Booleans)
{{a->False,b->True,c->False,d->False},{a->True,b->False,c->False,d->False}}
