How would I do this? On paper it looks like this:


100=2d+10
90=2d
d=45



How would I solve for "d" in DB?

Thanks in advance.

Ummm...

you would just write it down in code like you would in Algebra class...remember the old graphing calculaters well computers can do the same thing....Like what Zergei said is correct
