Answer 1

$x-cost\ of\ renting\ movies=\ 3,99\\ y-cost\ of\ renting\ video\ game\\ \\ 3x+y+\ 0,11=5y\\ 3 \cdot 3,99+0,11=5y\\ 11,97+0,11=5y\\ 12,08=5y\ /:5\\ y= \ 2,416\\ \\ Answer: Renting\ a\ video\ game\ cost\ \ 2,416.$

Answer 2

Answer:

$3.02

Step-by-step explanation:

M = movie rental

M = 3.99

V = video game

3M + V = 5V - 0.11

Get the integer on one side and the terms on the other

3M + V - 5V = -0.11

3M - 4V = -0.11

Substitute 3.99 for M

3(3.99) - 4V = -0.11

11.97 - 4V = -0.11

Get the integers on one side and the terms on the other

11.97 + 0.11 - 4V = 0

11.97 + 0.11 = 4V

12.08 = 4V

12.08/4 = V

V = 3.02
