    Pierre has enough boards and nails to make 9 tables and 5 chairs.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    13T+8C ≤ 220

    Let us substitute 9 for T and 5 for C and check.

    13 (9) + 8 (5) = 117 + 40

    = 157 < 220

    So, 220 wooden boards are sufficient to make 9 tables and 5 chairs.

    48T+37C ≤ 760

    Substitute 9 for T and 5 for C.

    48 (9) + 37 (5) = 432 + 185

    = 617 < 760

    So, 760 nails are sufficient to make 9 tables and 5 chairs.

    Hence, Pierre has enough boards and nails to make 9 tables and 5 chairs.
