$
25

. The total cost to rent
6

chairs and
5

tables is
$
49

. What is the cost to rent each chair and each table?

Answer 1

Let c= cost to rent each other

Let t= cost to rent each other

2c+3t=25

6T+5T=49

Multiply the 2nd equation by (-2) and add equation together

2c+3t=25

-12c-10t= 98

2t=98

T=49

Put this value into the 1st equation solve c

2c+3(49)=49

2c+147=49

2c=98

C=49

Cost to each chair and table are same 49.
