Is there any tool to solve a simple equation on Gamesalad, just like solver on Excel?

Hi, there.
I’m trying to solve a simple equation just like x+10=x*3 on Gamesalad. And then, I remember Excel has a tool to solve it called solver. If I can use it on Gamesalad, I’d be happy, cause I don’t have to make a lot of attribute.
Is there any tool to solve a simple equation on Gamesalad, just like solver on Excel?

Anybody help me.

    No, there isn't such a feature. I use Spotlight on a daily basis to do both simple and complex calculations but as far as I know, that won't solve equations either. Sounds like you'll need to use Excel or an online solution.

    Or just use me... x=5. ;)

    x=5. That's what I need!
    Thanks.

    Wait, seriously? Well, keep 'em coming because I'm stellar at basic algebra. :#

    x+10=x*3
    x+10=3x
    -x       -x
        10=2x
        ÷2 ÷2
          5=x

    But I just wanna know how I solve it on Gamesalad, of course.

    If Gamesalad had solver as Excel, it would be nice.

    I'd recommend just using Excel.

    Thanks. But I wanna draw a parabola on my game depending on coordinate. That's why.

    That's quite a different question. You can't do that directly. Take a look at this free template to get a better idea of how GameSalad can handle that kind of thing:
