is solver on gsheet? location and how to use . thanks - Google Docs Editors Community
is the "solver" feature in google spreadsheets accessible via google-apps-script? - Stack Overflow
Is there a way to get google sheets to solve algebraic equations? As in solve for X.
What's the use case?
More on reddit.comIs it possible to solve an Assignment Problem using Google Sheets? Is there a better method for my problem?

I don't think it's currently supported in Apps Script, but if you'd like, you can submit a feature request via the issue tracker: http://code.google.com/p/google-apps-script-issues/issues/list
edit: it's issue number 1348 (link).
Interesting idea exposing an Solver done in a spreadsheet via a script allows an easier way to make changes without adjusting code....
I know it can solve normal equations, but I need to know how to do algebraic equations with google sheets if it is possible. I looked it up but nothing I found helped me.
What's the use case?
Sure, format the equation so x is by itself, then other variables go in cells.
So, if your equation is 48=3x+8y, you would put
=SUM(48/3-(8*A1/3)) into cell A2. A1 would be the value of Y you are given by the problem. You can auto fill it down so you can solve for multiple values of Y.
If you're looking to solve equations based on data points, there's also the LINEST, GROWTH, TREND, and LOGEST functions that can try to extrapolate functions, but I'm not very versed in those.
