Does any one know how to create a function that works similar as "Goal
Seek" in Excel?

For example:
var a=8;
var b=6;
function c(a,b) {
return a*b;

}

And now I want that "c" will return me 56 and I want to do that only
by changing "b" and this "goal seek" function will return me solution
that "b" must be equal 7

I hope I didn't explain too chaotic.

I tried to find that on google but without any results.
Thanks in advance
Michael
