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
