Question 1157996

let rent for chair be x and that of table by y
 The total cost to rent 5 chairs and 6 tables is 60$.
5x+6y=60

 The total cost to rent 3 chairs and 2 tables is $22.
3x+2y=22

Solve equations

5.00	x	+	6.00	y	=	60.00			
									
									
3.00	x	+	2.00	y	=	22.00	.............2		
Eliminate 	y								
multiply (1)by		1.00							
Multiply (2) by		-3.00							
5.00	x		6.00	y	=	60.00			
-9.00	x		-6.00	y	=	-66.00			
Add the two equations									
-4.00	x				=	-6.00			
/	-4.00								
x	=	1.50							
plug value of			x	in (1)					
5.00	x	+	6.00	y	=	60.00			
7.50		+	6.00	y	=	60.00			
			6.00	y	=	52.50			
				y	=	8.75			
Ans	x	=	$1.50	rent each chair					
	y	=	$8.75	rent each table
