A discount store is selling 5 small tables with 8 chairs for $115. Three tables with 5 chairs cost $70.

1)
Which system of linear equations could be used to find the cost of each table (x) and the cost of each chair (y)?
A) 3x + 8y = $70; 8x + 3y = $115
B) 5x + 8y = $115; 3x + 5y = $70
C) 5x + 8y = $115; 2x − 5y = $70
D) 8x + 5y = $115; 5x + 3y = $70

2)
Determine the cost of each table (x) and the cost of each chair (y).
A) x = $15; y = $5
B) x = $10; y = $5
Eliminate
C) x = $5; y = $10
D) x = $12; y = $3
