Question

Old Solve() Function?

In past versions of MathCAD, there was a solve() function. Since this is used in some of MathCAD's original Mechanical Engineering worksheets, what replaces this function in version 14 so I can eliminate "undefined variable" errors in some old spreadsheets?

Are you referring to solve blocks?

Please upload an example worksheek.

No, this is a solve function, as in solve(30s+70,s).

Unfortunately I didn't use Mathcad back then. Can you no use the symbolic operators?

We can use the solve (fsolve, isolve etc) function in Mathcad <13 with Maple symbolic engine. It was one undocumented trick. Now (Mathcad 13-15 and Prime) we have the MuPAD symbolic engine without this function.
