Would someone please tell me if the Optimization APIs in Apache Commons Math can be used to solve a multi-variate equation (multiple xs, just one y) for a specific value as Microsoft Excel's Solver can and if so, how that would be implemented? In short, I don't want to solve my multi-variate system for zero, but set it equal to any number of my choosing and have the program return the values of the coefficients (Y=Ax1+Bx2+Cx3+...nxi) that satisfy the equation. Thanks.
