Math solve for X?

[foot1221]

What I'm trying to do is create a program that reads the distance from one point to another, then divides the distance by 3. Then clicks on a point, drags to a certain point and then lets go.

This would be easy if this had worked:

Local $b = ($m * $throwX) - $throwY
    Local $x = int($x = Sqrt($d^2 - ($m * ($x + $d)) + $b))
    Local $y = $m * $x + $b
    MouseMove($throwX, $throwY)
    MouseDown("left")
    Sleep(50)
    MouseMove($x, $y, 4)
    MouseUp("left")
    Sleep(100)

The problem is $x is being used to define itself, which can't be done apparently.

In above, $b is the y-intercept, $x is the x cord of where the mouse is being dragged to, and $y is the y of where the mouse is being dragged to, $throwX and $throwY is the point where dragging starts.

In short, I'm asking for something that can solver for X in the 2nd line, does such a function exist in AutoIt?

Can you use this and then divide by 3

This doesn't look right :

Local $x = int($x = Sqrt($d^2 - ($m * ($x + $d)) + $b))

Maybe :

Local $x = int(Sqrt($d^2 - ($m * ($x + $d)) + $b))
