Question 136591: This is a question from my Economics Course. No one in my group can figure it out. We are supposed to plot a Supply, Price, and Quantity graph based off the answer/s we get from the algebraic equation given. Here are the questions, exactly as they appear in the book:
Assume that the demand and supply equations for bushels of wheat are a follows:
Qd = 15 - (3*P)
Qs = 1 + (4*P)
Also assume that, in equilibrium, Qd = Qs. Solve for equilibrium price by setting quantity demanded equal to quantity supplied. What is the disequilibrium condition at prices of $1.50 and $2.50?

I appreciate any help you can give us.
Thank you!
