In the upper right corner of a dialog box (when you're responding to or writing a question, the link "use advanced editor" appears. Click that, and "attach" appears on the lower right corner.

Noone can figure out why it's so convoluted

You need to solve numerically, not symbolically. Look up solve blocks in the help. If you still can't get the answer you want, please post a worksheet.

Given that it is an assignment (Homework - I don't want to just say - here is the answer) as that will not be helpful for you.

However, I would suggest that:

Step 1.

change the definition for I from I:= to I(x):=

This will make it a function with parameter x that you can use anywhere.

Step 2:

as Richard suggests, delete the symbolic solve and look in the help files for the numeric equivalent, in this case 'find'

the solution should be easier - but if you get stuck at some point - post the new sheet & I'm sure that you will get further pointers
