It is helpful to know which version of Mathcad you are using.

If you want to solve to "d" then look at using symbolic math (in help). The := or definition operator should not be used here but use the evaluation operator (displayed as a bold =). Then you can solve for "d". Again, looking at symbolic examples in help should help you along...

I hope this helps.

Or you could do it purely numerically, by using the root function with C-(D-d)/L as the first argument.
