Extracting the answers from rules of the form
sol=x->ConditionalExpression[...]
can be accomplished by
Assuming[conditions, Simplify[x/.sol]]
The C[1] portion can be eliminated using one of the following
rules and applying it
C[1]->0
C[1]->1
C[1]->Sequence[]
Use the first when C[1] is an additive constant, the second if
C[1] is a multiplicative constant and the third if C[1] appears
in a list or something else where substituting 0 or 1 won't work.
