You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1.S-C=P
2.P%2FS=M
You weren't specific in terms of which variables.
2.P%2FS=M
P=SM in terms of S and M.
If you need in terms of C and M, then start with eq. 2,
2.P%2FS=M
P=SM
S=P%2FM
Now substitute into eq. 1,
1.S-C=P
%28P%2FM%29-C=P
%28P%2FM%29-P=C
P%28%281%2FM%29-1%29=C
P=C%2F%28%281%2FM%29-1%29
P=%28CM%29%2F%281-M%29
