Solve Function: How can I remove x-> from the output?

Questions

Using the Solve function to find Temperature of a system, I receive an output of

T → x

How can I remove the T → from the output so I can use the number in a graph (or whatever)?

Example of code:

For[i = 1, i < 18, i++,
 AppendTo[intTemp, 
  Solve[tungParabola == (vcData[[1, i, 1]]/vcData[[1, i, 2]])/w150] [[2]] ] ]

Solve is giving you a Rule for T, which is much more polite than setting the variable T to some value. You can use the Rule by a Replace, for which the shortcut is /. (PS. It’s a good idea to begin user symbols with lower case, so they don’t override Mathematica definitions. )

In[1]:= solution = Solve[3 x + 5 == 2, x]

Out[1]= {{x -> -1}}

In[2]:= solutionForX = x /. solution

Out[2]= {-1}

In[3]:= (* You get the nested list because Solve has the possibility \
of offering multiple solutions. You can de-nest like this *)
solutionForX = x /. solution[[1]]

Out[3]= -1

In[4]:= (* this has set the value for solutionForX *)

In[5]:= solutionForX

Out[5]= -1

In[6]:= (* you could have set a value for x, but that can be annoying \
if you later want to use it without definition, asn in In[1] *)
x = x /. solution[[1]]

Out[6]= -1

In[7]:= x

Out[7]= -1

Excellent! That solved my problem.

Thank you!
