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
