Answer 2

Answer:

Chair = Rs 125

Table = Rs 165

Step-by-step explanation:

Define x:

Let the cost of the chair be x

The cost of the table is (x + 40)

Solve x:

2(x + 40) + 3x = 705

2x + 80 + 3x = 705

5x + 80 = 705

5x = 625

x = 125

Find the cost of the items:

Chair = x = Rs 125

Table = x + 40 = 125 + 40 = Rs 165

Answer: The chair cost Rs 125 and the Table Rs 165
