Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Let x be the rent for a movie and y is the rent for a video game

The following system of equations:

5x + 2y = 31 (1)

3x + 8y = 56 (2)

Solving the system of equations above we have:

x = (31-2y) / 5 (1) => replace x in (2) 3 ((31-2y) / 5) + 8y = 56 => y = $ 5.5

Replace y = $ 5.5 for (1) => x = ((11 - 11) / 5) = 4

So the rent for a movie is $ 5.5 and the price for renting a video games is $ 4
