Solution

In order to find the equilibrium quantity, we need to set the quantity demanded (QD) equal to the quantity supplied (QS) and solve for the price (P).

So, we have:

100 - P = -20 + P

Solving this equation for P, we get:

2P = 120

P = 60

Now, we substitute P = 60 into either the demand or supply equation to find the equilibrium quantity. Let's use the demand equation:

QD = 100 - P

QD = 100 - 60

QD = 40

So, the equilibrium quantity is 40.
