Simple financial math with one quation, can't solve in mathcad prime 4.0

Simple financial math with one quation, can't solve in mathcad prime 4.0

The simple exation with one variable needs numerical solving( with higher potential values compute time climbes a bit), enabled multithreading - not much of a cpu hog ~ 50%(on an i5 2500) - yet no result in prime 4.0

Punched the same quation into WolframAlpha, got an approximated result - due to limited compute time.

Searched though the help tool of the solve function, tried different parameters, still nothing.

Am I blind or missing something -  please enlighten me.(used the thick equation symbol)
Thank you for wasting time on helping me 😉

Mathcad is a numeric solver.  It's symbolic engine is (and always has been) challenged.  A numeric solve block (took longer to type):simple math.PNG

Thanks for kudos!

But when we have 2 or more roots the Find and the root functions can return different answer (different numeric methods!)

PS root works in the free Prime Express - Find - blocked!
