One attack (output omitted). Since you are not interested in r and s we
eliminate these variables:
In[5]:= Subtract @@ Eliminate[eqns,{r,s}]
(Applying Subtract to turns the equation into an expression that
vanishes and makes it easier to collect terms)
In[6]:= Collect[%,{t,a},Factor]
You obtain a 6th order equation in t. I think you cannot expect to get
much further for general parameters.
Cheers,
Paul
