Seriously, I find the whole system of badges and tags and colourful symbols and embedded editors both distracting and discouraging. I regularly have a look at sage-support, but haven't been on ask.sagemath.org in the last couple of years. While it is OK to keep ask.sagemath.org running, I find it very wrong to forward people to ask.sagemath.org when they ask a question on sage-support (which clearly is *a* port for those seeking help).

One line answer : a,b,x,y = var('a,b,x,y') ; solve([ x + y == a, x - 2*y == b ],x,y,dontsolve='a,b') First statement is to declare symbolic vars a,b,x,y and second statement is for solving in symbolics x,y Dominique PS : use asksagemath.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
