The cost of renting each chair is $1.75, and the cost of renting each table is $8.5.

How to find the cost ?

From the information given, we have two equations:

2C + 3T = 29

6C + 5T = 53

From Equation 1, express C in terms of T:

2C = 29 - 3T

C = (29 - 3T)/2

Substitute this expression for C into Equation 2:

6[(29 - 3T)/2] + 5T = 53

6(29 - 3T) + 10T = 106

174 - 18T + 10T = 106

-8T = -68

T = 68 / 8

T = 8.5

Yu can find the cost of renting one chair by substituting this value into Equation 1:

2C + 3(8.5) = 29

2C + 25.5 = 29

2C = 29 - 25.5

2C = 3.5

C = 3.5 / 2

C = 1.75
