C = (1)/(4)n( \: a(1) \: + \: a(2) \: ) \\

Multiply sides by 4


4 * C = 4 * (1)/(4)n( \: a(1) + a(2) \: ) \\


4C = n( \: a(1) + a(2) \: )

Divided sides by n


(4C)/(n) = (n)/(n)( \: a(1) + a(2) \: ) \\


(4C)/(n) = a(1) + a(2) \\

Subtract sides - a (2)


(4C)/(n) - a(2) = a(1) + a(2) - a(2) \\


(4C)/(n) - a(2) = a(1) \\


a(1) = (4C)/(n) - a(2) \\
