Solution

To find the equilibrium price and quantity, we need to set the quantity demanded (Qd) equal to the quantity supplied (Qs).

The demand equation is P = 18 - 2Qd and the supply equation is P = -2 + 2Qs.

Setting Qd = Qs gives us:

18 - 2Qd = -2 + 2Qs

Solving for Qd (or Qs since they are equal at equilibrium) gives:

20 = 2Qd + 2Qs 20 = 4Qd Qd = Qs = 5 units

Substituting Qd = 5 into the demand equation gives:

P = 18 - 2*5 = $8

So, the equilibrium price is $8 and the equilibrium quantity is 5 units.
