Solve command for InputBar

These days I've needed to use "solve command" in the ordinary mode. But I couldn't because it's output named variables so it can be used only in CAS mode. But I think that if this command could output a list of numbers that they're the solutions then we can make it possible for the normal mode. For example if the input is:


  1. Solve[{x+y=5,2x+y=8},{y,x}]

that have the solution: x=3, y=2

then the output will be {2,3} in the order which you write in the input: {y,x}

If for example the equation has 2 solutions for each x and y, and your input ended with {x,y}; then the output will yields {{x1,x2},{y1,y2}} and so on.

Good idea! BTW have you tried the Solutions[ ] command?

No! I didn't know this command when I proposed my idea. But it looks like all solving commands are working only in CAS mode. It would be better if it becomes available to use also in the input bar.

I see that my topic marked as "Planned"!! Does this mean that my proposal will be included in the next version of GeoGebra!!!
