where Qs
is the quantity supplied, Qd
is the quantity demanded and P is
price.
a. From this information compute equilibrium price and quantity 

Now suppose that a tax is placed on buyers so that Qd = 400 – (2P + T)
where T is taxes. If T = 20, solve for the new equilibrium price and
quantity. (HINT: Note: You are solving for the equilibrium price
for sellers and buyers and the equilibrium quantity).
