If I interprete root(c+p*g-1) as "p is a root of equation "c+p*g-1==0" the you do not have one, but two equations: c+p*g-1==0 1/2+c+g(1-p)+p==0 With 3 variables and 2 equations you only have 1 degree of freedom. Therefore, you can not specify g and c independently. For the solution you may use, as mentioned before, Reduce. cheers, Daniel
