Answer: $4.25

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the cost of a movie

Let y = the cost of a game

Using these variables, we can set up equations.

3x + 5y = 42                 eq1

9x + 7y = 72                 eq2

We have here a system of equations, where we have two or more equations with two or more different variables.  We use the elimination method to solve for the variables.

Multiply eq1 by 3.  Keep eq2.

9x + 15y = 126              eq1

9x + 7y = 72                 eq2

Subtract eq2 from eq1 to eliminate the x terms.

8y = 54

 y = 6.75

This rental cost of one video game is $6.75
