This is due in 30 mins please help, Thank you

These next five problems consider tax incidence. Suppose the market supply and demand for guitars in Happy Valley are given by:

Demand: P = 300 - (1/2)Q

What is the equilibrium price and quantity of the product?

P* = 120, Q* = 1200

P* = 180, Q* = 240

P* = 60, Q* = 480

P* = 225, Q* = 150
