Great, thanks for the help. I'm a social scientist who's trying to teach himself sage and python (and to use it for my work). The last time I had a computer science course Pascal was the in thing ;) RAC

I want to take the numerical solution of a variable in a system of equations and use it later in the program. But all I can get is the symbolic definition. Here's a simplified example of the problem.

sage: var('x y z')

sage: eq1 = x + y + z == 6

sage: eq2 = 2*x - y + 2*z == 6

sage: eq3 = 3*x + 3*y - z == 6

sage: solve([eq1, eq2, eq3], x, y, z)

sage: v = x

sage: print v

Output:

[
[x == 1, y == 2, z == 3]
]
x

I assume the syntax for solving the system is correct because I get the right answers but I want v = 1, not v = x. Thanks.
