Mathematics Algebra Wolfram Language Symbolic Computations

Can Wolfram Language be used to simplify two algebra expressions by Elements rather than numbers?

Posted 9 months ago

If I have two equations: a + b = c a = d * e Is there a way to return every equation for all five Elements a, b, c, d and e? There should be ten equations returned, for example for the element b there are two possible equations by rearranging a + b = c for one equation and substituting a = d * e for the other: b = c – a b = c – d * e I've tried Solve and FullSimplify without success.

ToString[InputForm[Reduce[eqn, #] & /@ vars]] would be one way to get the result in a form closer to what could be incorporated into C++

Try e.g.: eqn = {a + b == c, a == d*e}; vars = {a, b, c, d, e}; Reduce[eqn, #] & /@ vars N.b.: '=' is an assignment; for defining an equation you need '=='.
