Flag using "solve for" instead of "solve"

Description

In the past day or two I've noticed at least two people on YouTube saying things like "solve for the problem" instead of "solve the problem". The correct usage of "solve for" is with one of the variables in an equation.

Examples

I did some Googling to see if it's more widely used:

• How can i solve for this issue with the logical flow
• Can you help me solve for the problem email message
• ... explain when you solve for the wrong problem not only do you not get the solution ...
• Can't figure out how to use solve for this problem
• this is a how to solve for this git problem: fatal: unable ...
• To solve for the issue in the meantime, I rolled back our package file to 1.0.15
• I've even added a const [noOfPages] to solve for this issue.

Are we ok with having false-positives for mathematics-oriented writings?

I would much rather have a lint that tries hard to determine which one is correct. That's why I didn't go straight to making a PR with a simplistic solution. In code both "solve" and "solve for" are going to be common and too many false positives will give the user a bad impression.
