Linear Equation an Polynomial

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to determine whether Mathcad Prime can symbolically or numerically solve:

• a single 3rd-order (cubic) polynomial, 
• a simple system of four linear equations with four unknowns.

Are there built-in functions or recommended workflows for this in Mathcad Prime,  Any examples or best practices would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Numerically should be no problem. For the cubic solution use the root() function or a solve block.

For a set of equations use lsolve() or a solve block.

Symbolically try this:

and this:

But you may get the trouble indicated here:

Success!
