Exercise 1.1

+ = 3

( 2 = 3) Eliminate x

3 = 6

= 2

+ (2) = 3 Substitute and solve for x

= 1

= 1 = 2

Solution 1.1

Exercise 1.2

2( 3 = 1) Solve by eliminationmultiply function by 2

2 6 = 2

2 6 = 2(2 + = 9)

7 = 7

= 1

3(1) = 1 Substitute back and solve

= 1 + 3

= 4

= 4 = 1

Solution 1.2

Exercise 1.3

6 = 12 Supply

= 6 12

() = 6 12 Supply Function

6 = + 12

=1

6 + 2

() =1

6 + 2

Exercise 1.4

() = 6 12 Supply Function

() = 6( ) 12 Taxed Supply Function

() = 40 2 Demand Function - Remains Unchanged

6( ) 12 = 40 2 Solve for to find new consumer price

6 6 12 = 40 2

6 + 2 = 40 + 12 + 6
