1. **State the problem:** We are given the market demand and supply functions for a digital service:
$$Q_d = 120 - 3P$$
$$Q_s = 30 + 2P$$
We need to find the equilibrium price and quantity where demand equals supply.
2. **Formula and rule:** At equilibrium, quantity demanded equals quantity supplied:
$$Q_d = Q_s$$
So,
$$120 - 3P = 30 + 2P$$
3. **Solve for price $P$:**
Move terms involving $P$ to one side:
$$120 - 3P = 30 + 2P$$
$$120 - 30 = 2P + 3P$$
$$90 = 5P$$
Divide both sides by 5:
$$\cancel{5}P = \frac{90}{\cancel{5}}$$
$$P = 18$$
4. **Find equilibrium quantity $Q$:**
Substitute $P=18$ into either demand or supply equation:
Using demand:
$$Q_d = 120 - 3(18) = 120 - 54 = 66$$
Using supply:
$$Q_s = 30 + 2(18) = 30 + 36 = 66$$
Both match, confirming equilibrium quantity is 66.
**Final answer:**
The equilibrium price is $18$ and the equilibrium quantity is $66$.
