Solve (S+.02+(C/N))-(.02+(C/N))=S for N

[cowtipn]

I'm not sure if this requires calculus, but I'm stumped. It's my fault for trying to find elegant solutions to things.

(S+.02+(C/N))-(.02+(C/N))=S

Thanks for you help.

hmm..

Unless I'm missing somethere here, you can't solve for N, simply because it cancels out once you can do anything else with the equation.

(S+.02+(C/N))-(.02+(C/N))=S
S + .02 +C/N - .02 -C/N=S
S+C/N-C/N+.02-.02=S
S+0+0=S
S=S

You see why? So N could be any real number, excluding zero, and the equality would still hold true.

Thanks

Turns out I set the problem up incorrectly in the first place. There's nothing like the feeling of solving a problem that's been vexing you for a long time!
Thank you.
