NP complete problem is one of the most challenging issues. The question of whether all problems in NP are also in P is generally considered one of the most important open questions in mathematics and theoretical computer science as it has far-reaching consequences to other problems in mathematics, computer science, biology, philosophy and cryptography. There are intensive research on proving `NP not equal to P' and `NP equals to P'. However, none of the `proved' results is commonly accepted by the research community up to now. In this paper, instead of proving either one, we aim to provide new perspective: transforming two typical NP complete problems to exactly solvable P problems in polynomial time. This approach helps to solve originally NP complete problems with practical applications. It may shine light on solving other NP complete problems in similar way.
