    suppose the aggregate consumption function is C = 100 +0.8(Y – T); taxes are

    C = 100 +0.8(Y – T); taxes are
    T = 10 + 0.25Y; investment, I, is 300 and government expenditures, G, are 200.

    I know that Y(equilibrium income) = 1/1-MPC (0.8) X (C0 +I +G -C1T)
    So Y= 1/1-(0.8) X 100+300+200 - (0.8 x (10+ 0.25Y)

    But I have no clue how to find Y :(.

    Please help.

    Thanks
