Moving electricity creates magnetism. Moving magnetism creates electricity. These two phenomena are so intimately related that they're really just ONE phenomenon, which we call electromagnetism.

Yeah, I was able to get it solved for one variable in Wolfram Alpha, but trying to back-substitute that result into the equation ended up just making a horrible, horrible mess with an x⁶ in the denominator and some stuff with nested radicals. Turns out it's not even theoretically possible to solve it that way, and you have to use some properties of Galois field theory (don't ask, I don't know) to do anything with it.
