I dont Understand how we get the final equations relating ##Q_r## with ##\lambda## given the conditions above?

There is a nice theorem.
Let ##f,f_1,\ldots, f_n:X\to\mathbb{R}## be linear functionals defined on a vector space ##X##.
Theorem. Assume that $$\bigcap_{k\in\{1,\ldots,n\}}\ker f_k\subset \ker f.$$
Then there are constants ##\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_n## such that
$$f=\sum_{k=1}^n\lambda_k f_k.$$
Moreover this theorem is a special case of the following fact. Let ##X,Y,Z## be vector spaces perhaps infinite dimensional. Let
$$A:X\to Y,\quad B:X\to Z$$ be linear operators such that ##\ker A\subset\ker B##. Then there is a linear operator ##\Lambda:Y\to Z## such that ##B=\Lambda A##.
