Answer:

Rent for B = 1896
Rent for C = 3062

Step-by-step explanation:

the B and C apartment's monthly rent combined  is $4958
rent of B is 1166 less than rent C
so the equation is
X+ (X+1166) = 4958
X= rent B
X+1166 = rent C

simplifying the equation
2X + 1166 = 4958
subtracte 1166
2X = 3792  

X= 1896, so the rent for B is 1896
after adding the 1166
the rent for C is 3062
