Just like the pic below:

When I substitute the answer into the function, it give a different result but likely the true answer.

Mathcad is right in its answer and then its not. The correct result of your first eval should be "no solution found".

The reason is, that your problem is an integral equation with A as a function in x and y (not A but A(x,y)) but the way you wrote is denotes that A would be a constant and so Mathcad treats it as such. The solution 3xy/2, which is obviously not a constant, means that there is no solution to the problem (no constant A).

Mathcad is not capable of solving differential equations symbolically nor will it solve integral equations at all.

You should do one of the following, depending on your intent with regard to x:

But I think that zhu laojianke is trying to solve this equation:

and he gives the solution himself with

Yes, Werner, I just want to solve this equation:

and I think I was confuse the concepts of constant and function in this equation.and I forgot that MC can not solve differential function directly in symbolic mode.

Maybe the true result in the 3rd equation is a coincidence?
