    Equilibrium Price = 48

    Equilibrium Quantity = 164

    Explanation:

    Market equilibrium at : Market Quantity Demand = Market Quantity Supplied

    QD = QS

    500 - 7P = 20 + 3P

    500 - 20 = 3P + 7P

    480 = 10 P

    P = 480 / 10

    Equilibrium Price = 48

    Equilibrium Quantity : Quantity Demanded = Quantity Supplied

    Putting value of equilibrium price in QD & QS (equalised), we get:

    500 - 7 (48) = 20 + 3 (48)

    Equilibrium Quantity = 164
