I want to input that and solve for Y. None of the equal signs seems to work. Any help?

Thanks

Joe

You have to use the boolean equal sign. Either from the Boolean Toolbar or via Keyboard shortcut (language dependent).

For x<=6 you get real solutions.

You can simplify each solution separate to get what you probably meant with "real solution" (it depends on x!) but it didn't work for the whole vector - we can't have it all and Mathcad's symbolics is quite limited. The result given below of course is valid for x>=6, too.

If x is unknown you have to use the symbolic "solve" command.
