Answer:

Q = 2,900 units

x = $50

Step-by-step explanation:

At the equilibrium point the quantity demanded and supplied at the equilibrium price are the same. The demand and supply functions are:

[tex]D: Q=590 - 60x\\S: Q=400+50x[/tex]

When the quantity is the same, the selling price x is:

[tex]5900 - 60x=400+50x\\x=\frac{5,500}{110}\\ x=\$50[/tex]

And the equilibrium quantity is:

[tex]Q = 400+50*50\\Q=2,900\ units[/tex]
