Answer:

The cost to rent each chair and each table are $1.5 and $8.75 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent 1 chair

Let y represent 1 table

Therefore

3x + 2y = 22   ------------(1)

5x + 6y = 60   ------------(2)

Multiply (1) by 5 and (2) by 3

15x + 10y = 110   ----------(3)

15x + 18y = 180  ------------(4)

Subtract (3) from (4)

8y = 70

Divide through by 8

y = $8.75

Substitute y = 8.75 in (1)

3x + 2y = 22

3x + 2(8.75) = 22

3x + 17.5 = 22

Collect like terms

3x = 22 - 17.5

3x = 4.5

Divide through by 3

x =$1.5

How do you graph it on a line
Aleonysh [2.5K]

In order to draw x ≤ -10 on a number line, first draw a closed dot at -10. This is because we have a ≤ and not a <. If we had a <, it would be an open dot.

Next, since we want x to be smaller, draw an arrow pointing towards all numbers that are smaller. This arrow would point to the left.
