Suppose that a company has determined that the demand equation for its product is 5x + 3p - 30 = 0 where p is the price of the product in dollars when x of the product are demanded (x is given in thousands). The supply equation is given by 52x - 30 p + 45 = 0, where x is the number of units that the company will make available in the marketplace at p dollars per unit. Find the equilibrium quantity and price.
