Trigonometric equations

Im having a little trouble answering these problems.

Note: Q represents the symbol that looks like a zero with a line across. (Not sure what its called.

1.) 1 - 2 sin(Q) = sin(Q) - sqrt(3)
2.) 2 (sin^2)(Q) = 1 - sin (Q)

It's and it's pronounced "theta." We can stick with Q's though.







This has no "nice" solution. So
