problems with solve()



I've attached a small batch file containing an equation I need to solve
(for school, but computers recommended, help OK, etc.).

It seems that solve() should be able to handle it, but apparently this
isn't the case. If I set numer: false, I get a long answer, but I can't
seem to get one in numeric form.

I'm new to Maxima, but would like to use it instead of the normal
Windows programs (Mathcad) for my assignments.

Any suggestions?
