Hi All!
I just started using mathematica for university and encounter the following issue which I am not able to figure out myself.
I have to equations:
eq1:=Sum[(Subscript[z,t]+Subscript[c,t]*Subscript[c,0])*q^(-t),{t,1,T}]==Subscript[z,0]+Sum[Subscript[z,t]*q^(-t),{t,1,T}]
and
eq2:=Subscript[z,t]==Subscript[s,t]*u
I would like to solve these equations for c_t but get the following error message when using the Solve command as follows:
Solve[{eq1, eq2}, Subscript[c, t]]
Solve::tdep: The equations appear to involve the variables to be solved for in an essentially non-algebraic way. >>
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks a lot!
Igor
