I think it probably means different things in different situations.

For example, the instructions for a set of problems may say "Solve each of the following equations." Then you will have a list of exercises and you might have a problem that says: 3x+2y =6, for y. What that means is to take the given equation and solve FOR y. In other words the "for" tells you what variable to solve FOR. Does that help?
