Actually, the typical request is for M11 versions, before Mathsoft made their ill-fated conversion to M12.
The first question is why you're using the symbolic solve, given that you obviously need a numerical answer, and the algebraic solution of your question is relatively trivial.
You ought to be using either Given-Find or Given-Minerr, as shown in the attached sheet. Minerr generally will be more tolerant of ill-formed equations, while Find requires the solution to be within the default tolerances set within Mathcad. Minerr will usually find a solution that only minimizes the error.
