8 0

Answer:

David gets 28 more than Dan

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim: Dan : David: total

3 : 1 : 5 : 3+1+5 = 9

Jim gets 21

21/3 = 7

Multiply each number by 7

Jim: Dan : David: total

3*7 : 1*7 : 5 *7 : 9*7

21 : 7 : 35 : 63

David has 35 and Dan has 7

35-7 = 28

David gets 28 more than Dan

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You are trying to find the values of two quantities, so you will need to set up a system of two equations in two variables. We'll call M the price of a movie and V the price of a video game.

The first month: 3 movies, 8 video games, $55. Let's translate this into algebra:

3M + 8V = 55

The second month: 5 movies, 2 video games, $18. Translated:

5M + 2V = 18

Solve that system of equations
