(VBS) Simple but so impossible

[velious]

How can i write a program that solves for x in this following equation:

x + 2 = 4

obviously x = 2, but how do I program a computer to tell me that?
like how do i say "ok, now minus 2 on both sides"?. Can someone help me.
:o

maybe if you had the equation
x + y = z
and you plug y and z into the equation you can use an if statement to figure out whether to add or subtract y on both sides thus giving you x....
