Question

D(x) is the price, in dollars per unit, that consumers are willing to pay for x units of an item, and S(x) is the price, in dollars per unit, that producers are willing to accept for x units. Find (a) the equilibrium point, (b) the consumer surplus at the equilibrium point, and (c) the producer surplus at the equilibrium point. D(x) = $$-\frac{3}{10}x + 20$$, S(x) = $$\frac{1}{2}x + 4$$

Step 1

$$-\frac{3}{10}x + 20 = \frac{1}{2}x + 4$$ Step 2: Solve for x. First, subtract 4 from both sides: $$-\frac{3}{10}x + 16 = \frac{1}{2}x$$ Next, add $$\frac{3}{10}x$$ to both sides: $$16 = \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{3}{10}x$$ To add the fractions, find a common Show more…
