Answer #1

Equilibrium price is determined when the demand curve and supply curve intersect each other, which means that the demand equation is equal to the supply equation. In the above question, Qd= Price+2 and Qs= 2Price

by equating both the equation,

Qd=Qs i.e Price+2=2Price

or 2= 2Price - Price

or 2= Price(2-1)

or 2=Price* (where Price*= equilibrium price)

So the equilibrium Price is 2
