Why would you use the symbolic "solve" if you are just after numeric result?

You may use a solve block with "find" or the "root" command.

EDIT: Sorry, I combined the two ways to use the "root" function in the above pic.

So you may either omit the guess value or you may omit the provided limits 1 and 100. We sure don't need both of them 😉

You did not get the result you expected because you did not assign a value to beta. If you assign the result of the symbolic solve to beta, you do assign it a value:

Then you can:
