You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Like all algebraic expressions you can only "solve" it when you know a value for the unknown, in this case C.
You do not have an equation; you have an expression.
You CAN, however, simplify an expression.
In this case it doesn't help much since the simplification results in
%285C-35-C%5E2%29%2F%28C%5E2-7C%29 and that's it!
