MATLAB: How to solve for or separate variable from others in an equation

separate variablesolve for variable

Hello everyone,

Please I am seeking help in solving the following equation:

4*X =(Z*C/G^2)*(1-x)

I want MATLAB to solve the equation for x; in other words x needed to be alone on the L.H.S.

I have tried

syms X Z C G 
solve(((Z*C/G^2)*(1-x))-(4*x)==0,X)

but I got an error

Thanks in advance

Aziz

This works:

syms C G X Z
Eqn = 4*X == (Z*C/G^2)*(1-X);
X_sol = solve(Eqn, X)
X_sol =
(C*Z)/(4*G^2 + C*Z)

The solve function works best with simplified expressions, since it does not simplify them by default:

syms x
assume(0 <= x <= 2*pi)
Eq = sin(x)*cos(x);
Eq = simplify(Eq, 'Steps',500);
solve (Eq == 0)

produces:

ans =
        0
       pi
     2*pi
     pi/2
 (3*pi)/2

   syms x
   solve(x^2 + 4*x + 1)
