X= cost per movie
y= cost per video game

EQUATION 1:
2x + 3y= $21

EQUATION 2:
4x + 8y= $53

STEP 1:
multiply equation 1 by -2.

-2(2x + 3y)= -2($21)
-4x - 6y= -42


STEP 2:
solve linear equations by elimination. use equation 2 and equation answer from step 1. add the two equations together. the x terms will cancel out. solve for y.

4x + 8y= 53
-4x - 6y= -42

2y= 11
divide both sides by 2
y= 11/2
divide
y= $5.5 per video game


STEP 3:
substitute y answer from step 2 into either original equation to solve for x.
2x + 3y= $21
2x + 3(5.50)= 21
2x + 16.50= 21
subtract 16.50 from both sides
2x= 4.50
divide both sides by 2
x= $2.25 per movie


CHECK:
4x + 8y= $53
4(2.25) + 8(5.50)= 53
9 + 44= 53
53= 53


ANSWER: The cost per movie is $2.25 and the cost per video game is $5.50.

Hope this helps! :)

2/5+3/8= i will give brainliest
Marysya12 [62]
so first we should make the denominators the same so find a multiple that 5 and 8 share: they share a multiple of 40, so whatever you do to the denominator you do to the numerator. So the equation should now look like 16/40+15/40 and the answer is 31/40!!

Write an equation for a line perpendicular to y = -5x – 4 and passing through the point (15,5)
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

y=1/5x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

In perpendicular lines the slopes are negative reciprocals so the slope of other line is 1/5x

And they intersect at (15,5) to find the y intercept(b)

y=1/5x+b

5=(1/5)(15)+b

5=3+b

b=2
