How to use Mathcad Symbolic Solver

Hi there,

I have been trying to use the Symbolic Solver in Mathcad prime v10 as shown in the following SS but I could not figure out. Could someone kindly plz help in this one? I would be much obliged. I am trying to get the values of Wa and Wb using the symbolic solver.

Its always better to attach the worksheet as it makes it easier for us to help.

Basically it looks like you have two equations for two unknowns WA and WB. To use the symbolic solver you must put both equations in a 2x1 vector and solve for both WA and WB.

As you are just looking for a numeric solution I think it would be better to do without the symbolic solver but rather use a numeric solve block with "find".

This really clarified my understanding about using the 'symbolic solver', thank you very much.
