The first part of 2 isn't as much hard as it is long.

$Y= C + I$

So
$Y = (aY_d + b) + (cr + d)$

$Y = aY_d + b + cr + d$

Then
$Y =a(Y - T) + b + cr + d$

$Y = aY - aT + b + cr + d$

Then
$Y = aY - a(tY + T^*) + b + cr + d$

$Y = aY - atY - aT^* + b + cr + d$

Now
$Y - aY + atY = -aT^* + b + cr + d$

$Y(1 - a + at) = -aT^* + b + cr + d$

$Y = \frac{-aT^* + b + cr + d}{1 - a + at}$

$Y = \frac{-aT^* + b + cr + d}{1 - a(1 - t)}$

For the partial derivatives:
$Y = \frac{-aT^* + b + cr + d}{1 - a(1 - t)}$

$\frac{\partial Y}{\partial c} = \frac{r}{1 - a(1 - t)}$
since all other terms are considered to be constant.

Also
$\frac{\partial Y}{\partial a} = \frac{(-T^*)(1 - a(1 - t)) - (-aT^* + b + cr + d)(-(1 - t))}{(1 - a(1 - t))^2}$ <-- By the quotient rule

And I'll let you clean this up yourself.
