Without your question,
this post is the subject of ignoring.


NO POSTS without questions - it it THE RULE of this forum.


-----------------
By the way, that expression

x=%28c-b%2B-+sqrt%28b%5E2%2Bc%5E2-4a%5E2%2B2bc%2B4ac%2B4ab%29%29%2F%282a-2c%29

which @josgarithmetic presented as the solution in his post, is actually   W R O N G   and  I S   N O T  the solution.


So,  for your safety,  simply   I G N O R E   it.

If the question was to solve for x, then use of quadratic formula would give, after some simplifying

x=%28c-b%2B-+sqrt%28b%5E2%2Bc%5E2-4a%5E2%2B2bc%2B4ac%2B4ab%29%29%2F%282a-2c%29
and you could try to see if there is any further simplification.
