Finding unknown value in a equation using MATHCAD

[jerry225]

hi,

I am trying to enter an equation in MATHCAD.
the equation is sin(x)*e^(-y/tanx) = sin(x-y)

Here, I know the value of x and I want to find the value y. How do I find the y value using Mathcad? I mean how can I enter the equation in Mathcad?

Jerry, you will need to use a "solve block". Check it out in the MathCAD help documentation for more information.

I'm not an expert with MathCAD and I don't have it on this computer, but I believe the code would look like this:

given %note, "given" is required as this is what starts the solve block

type equation here
type constraints here (i.e. x=4)

find(y)-> %use the forward arrow by pressing control + .

Thanks! I couldn't find solve block function.
