in thread How would you solve a user-inputted simple one-variable Linear Equation

Okay, this makes a decent amount of sense to me, thanks. Where is the = sign in your equation?

    I was lazy and left off the righthand side... if you have something like 2+3x+7(x+27)-6= 23x-45-(145+62-5)x then you would just start with a split on the = sign and parse the two halves separately.

      Thanks, I appreciate it! Figuring out how to distribute with () and x's is turning out to be more challenging than I thought without using modules like Math::Symbolic
