assigning to a symbol



Hi,
 I have a set of equations, which I solve using solve, and store the result
into a list . Now, I iterate through this list and want to assign the
solution value to the unknown variable name.

eq : x = a+b; Lets say this one of the solutions returned.

lhs(eq) : rhs(eq); Does not work. Throws an error.

Is there any function like assign(lhs(eq), rhs(eq)) to the values ?

Thanks in advance.

regards,
Suresh.
