[SciPy-user] Solve

[Eduardo Rodrigues]

If I want to solve an equation with linalg.solve I must know the equation, right? 

>From help:
"solve(a, b)
    Return the solution of a*x = b"

But if I don't know - or if I don't want to look - the equation for x, how can I solve it?
I will import equations from a file.

[]'s.

  These examples for solving equations are in scipy_tutorial.pdf

  from scipy import mat, linalg 

  """

      x + 3y + 5z = 10

  """

  XYparameters = mat('[1 3 5; 2 5 1; 2 3 8]')
  constants = mat('[10; 8; 3]')
  print linalg.solve( XYparameters, constants )

                                          #        [ 5.16],
                                          #      [ 0.76]])

  """

  XYparameters = mat('[5 2; 3 4]')
  constants = mat('[9; 4]')
  print linalg.solve( XYparameters, constants )  # should print (2,-0.5)

    Hi, I am starting in Python. I usually use Maple and I am with a problem to 
    do the same project in Python.
    I would like to solve an equation like x+y+1=0 for x. In Maple I use 
    "solve(x+y+1=0,x);".
    Do exist a similar command in Python/NumPy/SciPy?
    Regards,
    Eduardo.
