Assume that the demand curve D(p) given below is the market demand for widgets: Q=D(p)=1993−17p Let the market supply of widgets be given by: Q=S(p)=−5+10p where p is the price and Q is the quantity. The functions D(p) and S(p) give the number of widgets demanded and supplied at a given price. What is the unmet demand at equilibrium?

The supply and demand equations for a product are p= 1/10q + 20 and p = 200 - 1/2q, respectively, where a represents the number of units and p represents the price per unit in dollars. The equilibrium price is
Assume that demand for a product is represented by the equation P = 20 - 0.2Qd and supply by the equation P = 5 + 0.1Qs, where Qd and Qs are quantity demanded and quantity supplied, respectively, and P is price. Using the equilibrium condition Qs = Qd, solve the equations to determine the equilibrium price. Now determine the equilibrium quantity.
