Then we would hold constant the values of income and the price of good Y. In our example, those values are 50 and 20, respectively. So, by inserting the respective values, we would rewrite Equation 2 as
Equation (3)
Qdx=8.4−0.4Px+0.06(50)−0.01(20)=11.2−0.4Px
Notice that income and the price of automobiles are not ignored; they are simply held constant, and they are “collected” in the new constant term, 11.2. Notice also that we
