Answer:

To find the values of A and B, we'll substitute the corresponding quantities into the demand and supply functions.

For A:

Qs = -5 + 2P

Given Qs = 8

8 = -5 + 2P

2P = 8 + 5

2P = 13

P = 13/2

P = 6.5

For B:

Qd = 10 - P

Given Qd = 2.5

2.5 = 10 - P

P = 10 - 2.5

P = 7.5

So, A = $6.5 and B = $7.5.
