Easy Algebra problem?

P + N =C + 2/C

solve for C

Please and thank you, I just want to make sure I got it right.

  • C*P + C*N = C^2 + 2

    C^2 - (P + N)*C + 2 = 0, quadratic formula.

    a = 1

    b = - (P + N)

    c = 2

    C1 = ( - ( - (P + N) + sqrt(( - (P + N)^2 - 4*1*2)))/2 = P/2 + N/2 + (1/2)*sqrt(P^2 + 2*P*N + N^2 - 8)

    C2 = P/2 + N/2 - (1/2)*sqrt(P^2 + 2*P*N + N^2 - 8)

  • C=1/2(P/NC)
