An increase in demand, as shown to the right, means that the
equilibrium price will increase from P* to P2 and the equilibrium quantity from Q* to Q2.

in both equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity. Likewise, if we observe both price and quantity sold rising,
the explanation will lie in some factor causing demand to increase.
