<p>The demand function for theater tickets is $D_t(p_t,p_c)$, where $p_t$ stands for the price of theater tickets and $p_c$ stands for the price of cinema tickets. Supply of theater tickets is described by $S_t(p_t)$. I want to determine how the equilibrium price and quantity of theater tickets changes if the price of movie tickets changes from $p_c$ to $p'_c$. I just have to solve the equations
$$
D_t(p_t,p_c) = S_t(p_t)
$$
and
$$
D_t(p'_t,p'_c) = S_t(p'_t)
$$
right?</p>

I like the question much more this way, and would vote to keep it open.

I'm not sure how to answer this question in this form though, since it just seems to be, "yes."

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-12-09)

The demand function for theater tickets is $D\_t(p\_t,p\_c)$, where $p\_t$ stands for the price of theater tickets and $p\_c$ stands for the price of cinema tickets. Supply of theater tickets is described by $S\_t(p\_t)$. I want to determine how the equilibrium price and quantity of theater tickets changes if the price of movie tickets changes from $p\_c$ to $p'\_c$. I just have to solve the equations
$$
D\_t(p\_t,p\_c) = S\_t(p\_t)
$$
and
$$
D\_t(p'\_t,p'\_c) = S\_t(p'\_t)
$$
right?
