How can I solve this equation for $L$. Everything else is known number: $$KL^2C - LC^2C = (B-C)C^2C - C^2C(T+KG^2) - KP^2$$

    Well, what is $C$? if $C=1$ this is just a quadratic equation in $L$. If $C$ is a large integer then this is a hard polynomial to solve. But maybe $C$ isn't even a positive integer?

    I think you are out of luck unless $2C$ is $1$ or $2$ or $3$ or $4$. Numerical methods may work when that's not the case.

If $K = 0$ this is a line equation in $L$, so let's assume $K ne 0$. Let's also assume $C$ is a non-negative integer.



Then you are looking at $$L^2C - aL -b = 0$$ and for $C>2$ you will not necessarily have analytic solutions.



For $C=0$, it is also linear in $L$. For $C=1$, the quadratic formula applies, and for $C=2$, you have to solve a 4-degree equation, for which you can find closed analytic formulae akin to the quadratic formula...
