Equations


rascle

Recommended Posts

Hi

I have a user inputted value (e.g. "$value = "5x^2 - 6x - 5x + 9 = 72 - 5";") which is a Quadratic equation that needs balancing (for the example above I want to rearrange it so that the 72-5=67 and the 67 goes across the formula to make 5^x -11x -57 = 0).

Does anyone have any ideas how I should go about doing this?

I was going to use string functions to try and split the values apart and then add them to seperate variables to create the quadratic equation. Does anyone have any other / better ideas for this?

Thanks

Rhys
