Answer:
The cost to rent each chair: $1
The cost to rent each table: $10.50
Step-by-step explanation:
C = cost to rent each chair
T = cost to rent each table
5C + 2T = 26
3C + 8T = 87
Multiply 5C + 2T = 26 by (-4)
-20C -8T = -104
Now you have 2 equations
-20C -8T = -104
3C + 8T = 87
----------------------------Add
-17C = -17
C = 1
5C + 2T = 26
5(1) + 2T = 26
2T = 26 - 5
2T = 21
T = 10.5
