If you want to assert that the 'left' signal is  L + M/2 and
the 'right' signal is R + M/2, then you will have to devise a way to
solve two linear equations in three unknowns before you can get any further.

Otherwise, as has been pointed out repeatedly,the best you can do with a linear
circuit is the original compatibility designed into FM stereo broadcasts and
stereo LP records, namely, mono = (L + R)  (/2 for purists).
