Hello, I can help you with this

Step 1

Define

cost to rent a chair=x

cost to rent a table=y

9x=total cost for rent 9 chair

7y = total cost for rent 7 tables

a)The total cost to rent 9 chairs and 7 tables is $91.

in mathematical terms it is

9x+7y=91....equation 1

b) The total cost to rent 3 chairs and 5 tables is

3x+5y=59.... equation 2

and you have 2 equation and 2 unknown terms

let's solve this

from equation 1 isolate x

from equation 2 isolate x

now, x= x, so

now, we know y, use it to find x
