Answer:
value of chair = $1.50.
value of table - $6.
Explanation:
This is a system of equations.
8c + 3t = $30.
2c + 5t = $33.
The method that seems easiest to me is elimination, I will multiply the 2nd equation by 4 so that the coefficients of c in both equations are equal.
Now the 2nd equation is: 8c + 20t = $132.
Now subtract the 2nd equation from the first equation.
8c - 8c = 0.
3t - 20t = -17t.
30 - 132 = -102. The equation is now -17t = -102. Divide both sides by -17 and you get:
t = 6. So 6 is how much each table costs.
Now, we plug in 6 for t in either equation; I'll just pick the first one bc idk.
8c + 3(6) = 30.
8c + 18 = 30.
Subtract 18 from both sides.
8c = 12.
Divide both sides by 8.
c = 1.5.
