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
R + 9 Expression would be r+9=j J represents the miles that Jessica rode. Since Jessica rode 9 miles farther, you must add 9 to the amount that roger rode.
