Question

A party rental company has chairs and tables for rent. The total cost to rent

Answer 1

2c+5t=43

c=(43-5t)/2

8c+3t=36 and using c found above in this equation gives you:

4(43-5t)+3t=36

172-20t+3t=36

-17t=-136

t=8, and since c=(43-5t)/2

c=1.5

So a table costs $8.00 to rent and a chair costs $1.50
