Simple symbolic equation manipulation with ModelingToolkit.jl

New to Julia

I simply would like to isloate a variable from an expression/equation, e.g.:

using ModelingToolkit
@variables a b c
eqs = 0 ~ a + b + c

I want to solve this for variable ‘a’ (isolate ‘a’ on the left hand side).
As I understand, Modeling Toolkit is mainly intended for coupling of symbolic and numeric math and optimize the latter. However, I would like to use it for this kind of (or more complicated) equation solving instead of doing it by hand.
Thanks!

It’s not fully documented yet, but the alias elimination code is how we do it:

You might want to wait until it’s documented or use that to write the docs, taking into account any changes in https://github.com/SciML/ModelingToolkit.jl/pull/720

Thank you Chris! I am new to Julia and don’t understand what the function does exactly. So I’ll wait for the documenation.
