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
-9/4 is greater than -3 because -9/4 is also -2.25 and the less negative number is always greater than the more negative number.
Hope this helps!
It's the first step.4x-x-2+6=6x+16 ##substract 2 rather an add 2
Check it carefully next time.!!

If 
is the amount of strontium-90 present in the area in year 
, and it decays at a rate of 2.5% per year, then
Let 
be the starting amount immediately after the nuclear reactor explodes. Then
or simply
So that after 50 years, the amount of strontium-90 that remains is approximately
or about 28% of the original amount.
We can confirm this another way; recall the exponential decay formula,
where is measured in years. We're told that 2.5% of the starting amount 
decays after 1 year, so that
Then after 50 years, we have
