Question

a party rental company has chairs and tables for rent. the total cost to rent 3 chairs and 2 tables is $26. the total cost to rent 5 chairs and 6 tables is $72. what is the cost to rent each chair and each table?

Answer 1

$8 because if u do 26 divided by 3 u get 8 and 2/3 

Answer 2

Let the cost of renting a chair be x and for renting a table be y than 5x + 3y = 31 and 2x + 6y = 52 2x+ 6y = 52 can be further simplified to x + 3y = 26 now try solving for x and y... best of luck:D
