I realize I don’t work for Microsoft anymore, but this was too neat to pass up sharing it. (I would imagine you can expect future Microsoft posts, too. Old habits and so on…)
One of my FaceBook friends just posted this as her status:
Can you solve this? .30=(x-34.58)/x
I started to work it out (figuring she had a need for the answer), when I had a thought. I pasted the equation into my Live search box and wah-lah – the answer appeared instantly!
.30=( x-34.58)/ x : x=49.4
I don’t know how often you need to solve for X in your daily lives, but it is nice to know Microsoft is there to help (or at least check your work if you insist on doing things the long way).

You get a better answer (graphical) with Wolfram Alpha:
