Algebra.Com's Answer #624300 by addingup(3677)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 19p − 1400 = −5p + 1000 Now let's find p, which is our equilibrium price: \n" ); document.write( "Add 1400 on both sides: \n" ); document.write( "19p = -5p + 2400 Now add 5p on both sides: \n" ); document.write( "24p = 2400 Finally, divide both sides by 24 \n" ); document.write( "p = 100 is your equilibrium price. \n" ); document.write( "J \n" ); document.write( " |
