Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Bring similar terms on each side of the equation and solve for equilibrium price and quantity  quantities which make the amount supplied equal to demanded.

2P + 4 P = 80 + 10; therefore, equilibrium P = 90/6 = 15. To confirm that it is the equilibrium price, substitute 15 in the above equations for P.

At 15 P, Qd = 80 - 2 (15 ) = 50 and Qs = - 10 + 4 (15 ) = 50; thus the equilibrium quantity equals 50 units.
