How to extract the integer part from a symbolic expressions?

edit

To get the right hand side of a, you can do

sage: a.rhs()

If you want a Sage integer, not a symbolic expression, you can do

sage: ZZ(a.rhs())

Or you can set the solution_dict to True:

sage: solve(qe, x, solution_dict=True)
[{x: 379}, {x: 239}]
sage: solve(qe, x, solution_dict=True)[0][x]
379
sage: solve(qe, x, solution_dict=True)[1][x]
239

EDIT: as mentioned in comments, the output are not integers but element of the symbolic ring. In order to get integers the fastest is

sage: a = solve(qe, x, solution_dict=True)[0][x]
sage: a.pyobject()
379
