In this line, solve([q1==q1.substitute(q2=sol2[0][1].right()).simplify_full()], q1) you are trying to solve for "q1", but q1 is not a variable, it's the expression: f2^alpha*p1^(alpha - 1)*p2^(beta - alpha*beta)*q2^alpha*A^(1 - alpha)/f1 Did you mean to solve for a variable in the solve statement above?
