Price elasticity of demand and cross plasticity of demand

Suppose the demand curve for a product is given by
Q= 17- 2P + 1Ps
where P is the price of the product and Pg is the price of a substitute good. The price of the substitute good is $2.40.
Suppose P = $0.50. The price elasticity of demand is -.05. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
The cross-price elasticity of demand is .13. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
Suppose the price of the good, P, goes to $1.00. Now the price elasticity of demand is
(Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
