Solve simple equation in Python

[deanhystad]

I have never used SymPy myself, but from this tutorial I think it looks fairly straight forward:

My first shot would be:

from sympy import symbols, Eq, solve
x = symbols('x')
eq = Eq('0.4x - 0.38 - 0.58')
solution = solve((eq), (x))

There may be a way to solve an equation without first putting it in the form equation = 0. I don't know.
