Oh, duh. You're right, of course: e did say that A was known.

I had taken the phrase "X,A are grid images" as indication that the poster
wasn't clear on how IDL handles math with arrays in the same way as
scalars. In this case, of course, this would be a quadratic equation to
solve, not the simple thing I wrote.

If we're talking real matrix algebra, then it isn't clear to me what
the "C+A" would be about: if C is a matrix then why is it called "a
constant", but if it isn't then "C+A" isn't really a valid operation. Hum.
