Simple Maxima Question - Turn x=number to just a number

This is I'm sure a blindingly easy Maxima question that I've hunted for an answer for a while now but can't seem to fish it out...

I have a quadratic that I've solved for x.  The solve function gives its output in the form of x= 0.6492374 and x= -0.3473.  I need to do something with those numbers afterwards which means I need them to just be numbers rather than x= a number.  

I'm sure there has to be a straightforward function for this I just can't seem to find it.

Thanks.

Eventually answered my own question.

There is a straightforward function for this.  They are rhs() and lhs() which are abbreviations of "right hand side" and "left hand side."
