English term

solves for L

English to German Science Mathematics & Statistics Mathematical equation
The following equation solves for L when S is less than L.

Additional information: The "solves for L" refers to the "L" in the equation. "L" is "Length": Length of vertical curve in feet (or meters). (Equation is not included in text)
How do I translate the "solves for L" properly? Thanks for any advice.

disagree Cilian O'Tuama : Who is "you"? Anything to back this confident assumption up with?// Der Mathematiker löst nach x auf, nicht die Gleichung

disagree Erik Freitag : With Cilian. Never heard this.The links you provide don't use it either./With all due respect: No, they don't! Both links use the word "löst", but not in the way your suggestion does. I've yet to see a case where a "Gleichung auflöst".That's pure nonsense

Yes they do!! Just type in "nach" in the search bar and you will find it! My first link uses it in all examples!
agree Kitty Maerz : würde ich auch so sagen und findet sich auch bei Google
