X=10 Y=1.25; X=8 Y=1; X=6 Y=0.75; X=4 Y=0.5
Make a system of equations and solve for each variable.
3m+8v=53
5m+2v=26
m= movie cost
v= game cost
multiply the bottom equation by 4(combination method)
3m+8v=53
20m+8v=104. Subtract
-17m = -51
m= 3
Plug back into one of the equations
5(3)+2v=26
15+2v=26
2v=11
v=5.5
m=$3
v=$5.5
Step 1: Find the slope:

This gives you
, but we need to find b.
To find b, substitute in one (x,y) pair and it doesn't matter which one. I'll go with (4,-2):
![\begin{aligned}-2&=-\dfrac{3}{2}(4)+b\\[0.5em]-2&=-6+b\\[0.5em]4&=b\end{aligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7D-2%26%3D-%5Cdfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D%284%29%2Bb%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D-2%26%3D-6%2Bb%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D4%26%3Db%5Cend%7Baligned%7D)
Now take that b-value and plug in into the slope-intercept form:

It's always a good idea to toss in the other x-value from the other point, to make sure it checks out.
Answer: If you're not vegetarian, then you do not eat beef.
Step-by-step explanation:
Dismiss the 'if' and 'then':
- you do not eat beef
- you're not vegetarian
Now, all you have to do is switch their places:
- you're not vegetarian
- you do not eat beef
Now add the 'if' and 'then' back:
If you're not vegetarian, then you do not eat beef.
