Answer: So the cost to rent each chair is $1.25 and the cost to rent each table is $8.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Let C = cost to rent each chair
Let T = cost to rent each table
4C + 8T = 73
2C + 3T = 28
Multiply the 2nd equation by (-2) and then add the equations together
4C + 8T = 73
-4C - 6T = -56
2T = 17
T = 17/2 = 8.5
Plug this in to the 1st equation to solve for C
4C + 8(17/2) = 73
4C + 68 = 73
4C = 5
C = 5/4 = 1.25
