Linda rented 8 movies and 4 video games for a total of $37. The next month she rented 3 movies and 2 video games for a total of $17. Find the rental cost for each movie and each video game.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Let x = the price of movies and let y = the price of video games

8x + 3y = 43

2x + 5y = 32

Use the Elimination Method by multiplying both sides of the second equation by 4

8x + 3y = 43

-(8x + 20y = 128)

-17y = -85

y = 5

2x + 5(5) = 32

2x + 25 = 32

2x = 7

x = 7/2 = 3.5

Movies cost $3.50 and video games cost $5
