Problem doesn't seem hard, I've just tried to so many times that I'm more confused than when I started. The main equation is at the end with the question. The following info might help.

2 Equations, 5 Variables
c and (q2) are constants
a,b>0
c is an element of (0,a)

1) a-2b(Q1)-(Q2)-c
2) a-2b(Q2)-(Q1)-c

Solved for Q1 = a-2b(Q2)-c

Inserted into eqation 1:

a-2b[Q1]-(Q2)-c

a-2b[a-2b(Q2)-c]-(Q2)-c

The difficulty I'm having is with the following
QUESTION: Now solve for Q2
Then solve for Q1

Solve for Q2 in the last equation, thats it. What else is there to understand?

Just simplify the last equation so that (Q2) is on one side and the rest is on the other, if you can't do that please don't comment.

I realize it is difficult, this is why I'm asking the question.

If you have two equations and 5 unknown variables, you can never solve this problem.
