For this case what you should do is to clear q in both equations with a price of p = 16 $
 We have then:
 For the demand
 p = 48 - 2q
 q = (48 - p) / 2
 q = (48 - 16) / 2
 q = 16
 For the supply:
 p = 12 + q
 q = p-12
 q = 16-12
 q = 4
 Answer:
 if the town imposes a price ceiling of 16 dollars, and the quantity demand will be 16 while quantity supply will be 4.
