Hello, Try ?uniroot instead. Your equation is equivalent to 5x - 55 = 0, so the instruction would be
uniroot(function(x) 5*x - 55, c(0, 20)) Hope this helps, Rui Barradas Em 19-05-2014 14:46, message escreveu:
Readers, The function 'solve' states that it is applicable to a vector or matrix object. Please what is the syntax to solve a very simple equation like: 5x + 1 = 56 The books read so far give explanations for simultaneous linear equations or differential equations, but there have not been able to find a very basic description to solve simple equations (as an initial learning stage). Thanks. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
