Mathematica Simple Mathematica Question (Solve Function)

Click For Summary
The user encountered an issue with the Solve function in Mathematica while trying to solve for F in a specific equation. They initially confused the logical operator with the assignment operator, which led to their problem. After realizing the mistake, they corrected their approach. This highlights the importance of understanding operator functions in Mathematica for effective problem-solving. Proper use of operators is crucial for successful computations in programming environments.

Why won't it solve this function for F ? I am new to Mathematica, so I am sure I am messing something up here!

Code: 
Solve[M*((5*P*L^3)/(48*H*J) - (5*F*L^3)/(384*H*J)) - F = 0, F]
