With given supply and demand curve the equilibrium price and quantity are P=20. Q=60.

Point elasticity formula: 

"E = \\frac{dQ}{dP}\\times\\frac{P}{Q}."

So, "Ed = (-2)\\times\\frac{20}{60}=-\\frac{2}{3}."

"Es = 3\\times\\frac{20}{60}=1."

The price elasticity of demand is -2/3, the price elasticity of supply is 1.
