Let's assume 
rent of the one chair = x
rent of the one table = y

3x + 2y = 24
8x + 4y = 53

multiply the first equation by 2
6x + 4y = 48
8x + 4y = 53

if we subtract from last equation to previous equation,
2x = 5
x = 2.5

y = 8.25

Therefore the cost of one chair is 2.5 dollars
the cost of one table is 8.25 dollars
