Consider a perfectly competitive labour market, Labour Demand is given by LD = 150 – 5W, and Labour Supply is given by LS = 10W, where W is the market wage rate.
In order to stimulate employment in this industry, the government offers workers an additional $3 for each unit of labour worked. Find the new market equilibrium take-home wage for workers?
I found the original equilibrium price which is $10. but i dont know what to do now with the additional $3 for each unit.

Labour Markets: Consider a hypothetical market for low-skilled labour. For simplicity, assume the short-run supply of workers is given by the equation Qs = 100 + 10w, where Qs is the quantity supplied and w is the wage. The demand curve is given by Qd = 250 − 5w, whereQd is the quantity demanded. Provide some intuition as to why the elasticities are inelastic.
