I don't claim to be good at math, but I sometimes enjoy algebra. Perhaps if you could give us a specific example?

I'm going to assume you're working with a system of chemical reactions, instead of just one. But basically you do the same thing you do when you're given:
3x+4y=7z
4x+2y=8z
except now x,y,z are your chemical species, and the numbers are the unknowns. You probably end up doing some kind of row-echelon reduction, LU / QR decomposition, etc.
Basically, it's using a matrix to determine the unknown coefficients of the chemicals.
My problem is basically figuring out what is on the "c" part, if that makes sense.

The "C" part is the number of molecular compounds. That whole discourse on C-E just tells you whether the problem is underdetermined, overdetermined, or just right.
Otherwise, I'm not sure what other "c" part there is...? Could you be more specific, please?
