Python code to solve simple algebra equations

Posted On February 23, 2023

Programming languages such as python can solve algebraic equations of varying complexity. Python’s sympy library makes it easy to solve mathematical equations. The following code solves the equation:

x + 2 = 5

Code

from sympy import symbols, solve

x = symbols('x')
expr = x + 2 - 5
sol = solve(expr, x)
print(sol)

Output

[3]

If we solve x+2=5 for x, the value of x = 3.
