Multiple queries can be combined into equations that allow you to perform arithmetic operations on the results of your queries. This can be useful when you want to compare two metrics or calculate a ratio between them. Click "Add Equation" to create a new equation. You can reference queries using their identifier (the letter(s) in the circle to the left of each query) in the input field that appears. For example, if you have two queries, `a` and `b`, you can create an equation that calculates the ratio between them by typing `a / b`. You can also use the `+`, `-`, and `*` operators.

While metrics are a great tool for analyzing your data in aggregate and identifying possible issues, you often need to go deeper and look at the correlation with other signals, such as traces, to find the root cause for a particular anomaly. Once you've identified a particular area of interest - such as a spike or a drop in your metric - it's helpful to compare a trace from when the metric was stable to one that happened during this anomalous behaviour. [Traces](/concepts/key-terms/tracing/distributed-tracing/) provide detailed records of exactly what happened in your system at a point in time, with all the rich context contained in individual spans.

Below your metric charts, the "Samples" tab shows a list of sample transactions to help you with your investigation. Click on a transaction to see more details.
