    solving for x algebra 5*X=10

    Hi: Can I enter a equation in an excell cell and solve for a single variable as in
    5*X=10 (answer 2)

    or 5*X+X=12 (answer 2)

    Ideally, answer would appear in the same cell that the equation is entered


    Thanks in advance!

    You can either use Solver or write a lot of code. Excel doesn't do symbolic algebra like Maple or Mathematica.
