Solving for an unknown without doing it yourself

So I'm doing some engineering calculations and wants to solve for an unknown in a algebraic expression with only one unknown.

Does MathCad have support fort that? It only seems to work when I solve it my self, but not having to throw letters left and right that's why I would want too use MathCad in the first place.

I've simplified the problem:

There has to be a way right?

Ok, thank you. That's a shame, since it will look quite strange for someone who doesn't know MathCad syntax, when he reads the generated document.
